Shadow Cold War

Focusing on the rivalry between the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, this book explores their quest for dominance in leading the global revolution during the Cold War. As newly independent states emerged from decolonization, both Moscow and Beijing sought to influence these politically unstable and impoverished nations, intensifying Sino-Soviet competition. Jeremy Friedman provides a nuanced understanding of this critical period, highlighting the geopolitical strategies that shaped the international landscape.
