Sommario/riassunto

Based on archival materials from several countries, especially China, , interviews, and more than twenty years of research on the subject, Zhihua Shen and Yafeng Xia offer a comprehensive look at the Sino-Soviet alliance from the end of the World War II through 1959, when the alliance ended as a result of foreign and domestic policies. Mao and the Sino-Soviet Partnership, 1945-1959: A New History is a reevaluation of the history of this alliance and offers the first comprehensive account



of it from a Chinese perspective.
