The Sino-Soviet Conflict 1956-61

The Sino-Soviet Conflict, 1956–61 (1964) by Donald S. Zagoria – Princeton University Press
Sold with confused Cold War nostalgia by Crappy Old Books

Long before the USSR collapsed and China embraced capitalism with a red flag, Donald S. Zagoria dissected the bitter ideological divorce between the two communist titans. This 1964 classic from Princeton University Press traces the fascinating (and at times petty) unraveling of the so-called socialist brotherhood between Mao’s China and Khrushchev’s USSR from 1956 to 1961.

Part Cold War forensics, part diplomatic psychodrama, Zagoria digs deep into policy documents, party statements, and power plays to show how two nations with nearly identical systems managed to loathe each other with spectacular intensity.

Our copy? Structurally sound, mentally scarred. Aged pages, foxing where it counts, and that special Crappy Old Books musk of Cold War paranoia and ex-library ink.
