A compelling, expansive history of the relationship between China
and Russia, from the seventeenth century to the present Russia and
China, the largest and most populous countries in the world,
respectively, have maintained a delicate relationship for four
centuries. In addition to a four-thousand-kilometer border, they
have periodically shared a common outlook on political and economic
affairs. But they are, in essence, profoundly different polities
and cultures, and their intermittent alliances have proven
difficult and at times even volatile. Philip Snow provides a full
account of the relationship between these two global giants.
Looking at politics, religion, economics, and culture, Snow
uncovers the deep roots of the two nations' alignment. We see the
shifts in the balance of power, from the wealth and strength of
early Qing China to the Tsarist and Soviet ascendancies, and
episodes of intense conflict followed by harmony. He looks too at
the experiences and opinions of ordinary people, which often vastly
differed from those of their governments, and considers how long
the countries' current amicable relationship might endure.
