In the twenty-first century, students of Cold War history are
fortunate to have the fruits of several major works on the
Sino-Soviet split by European and American scholars. What is
lacking in English literature, however, is a book based on
international documentation, especially Chinese archival documents
that tell the story from the Chinese perspective. Based on archival
materials from several countries-particularly China-and more than
twenty years of research on the subject, two prominent Chinese
historians, Danhui Li and Yafeng Xia, offer a comprehensive look at
the Sino-Soviet split from 1959, when visible cracks appeared in
the Sino-Soviet alliance, to 1973, when China's foreign policy
changed from an "alliance with the Soviet Union to oppose the
United States" to "aligning with the United States to oppose the
Soviet Union." Mao and the Sino-Soviet Split, 1959-1973: A New
History is a reevaluation of the history of the Sino-Soviet split
and offers the first comprehensive account of it from a Chinese
perspective. This book, together with its prequel Mao and the
Sino-Soviet Partnership, 1945-1959: A New History, is important
because any changes in Sino-Soviet relations at the time affected,
and to a great extent determined, the fate of the socialist bloc.
More importantly, it directly impacted and transformed the
international political situation during the Cold War. These two
books promise to be a reevaluation of the history of the
Sino-Soviet alliance from its birth to its demise. These
fascinating books will be a crucial resource for all those
interested in the topic and will stand as the definitive work on
the Sino-Soviet alliance for years to come.
