The Soviet Union and Communist China 1945-1950: The Arduous Road to the Alliance
Author: Dieter HeinzigPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317454480
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Drawing on a wealth of new sources, this work documents the evolving relationship between Moscow and Peking in the twentieth century. Using newly available Russian and Chinese archival documents, memoirs written in the 1980s and 1990s, and interviews with high-ranking Soviet and Chinese eyewitnesses, the book provides the basis for a new interpretation of this relationship and a glimpse of previously unknown events that shaped the Sino-Soviet alliance. An appendix contains translated Chinese and Soviet documents - many of which are being published for the first time. The book focuses mainly on Communist China's relationship with Moscow after the conclusion of the treaty between the Soviet Union and Kuomingtang China in 1945, up until the signing of the treaty between Moscow and the Chinese Communist Party in 1950. It also looks at China's relationship with Moscow from 1920 to 1945, as well as developments from 1950 to the present. The author reevaluates existing sources and literature on the topic, and demonstrates that the alliance was reached despite disagreements and distrust on both sides and was not an inevitable conclusion. He also shows that the relationship between the two Communist parties was based on national interest politics, and not on similar ideological convictions.
The Laws of Eleanor
Author: Trecia GreenePublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595369995
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
THE LAWS OF ELEANOR unfolds one summer as three women sit at the kitchen table talking and drinking gin, riding in a tow truck all over the mountain, sitting at the table talking and drinking gin, going out to eat greasy restaurant food, sitting at the table talking and drinking gin. Toby is the tow truck driver, mountain woman, horse trader, whose words are boulders in an unfordable dry riverbed. Eleanor is simply a Kansas transplant, whose words are like tiny stones of Sisyphus rolling hauntingly day after day before Teach, a city woman who is intrigued by their story. Eleanor encourages Teach to write it down, write it all down. And Teach does-from the mythical "In the beginning" of how Toby and Eleanor got to the mountain to Teach's own realization of her legacy from Eleanor. "That's what you left me, isn't it? That's my legacy. That-and something I've come to call the laws of Eleanor."

Minerals Yearbook
Author: China Digest
Author: Australia's China
Author: Lachlan StrahanPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521484978
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
First published in 1996, Australia's China explores the multifaceted and dynamic Australian encounter with China from the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937 through the Cold War to the Australian recognition of the PRC in 1972. Going beyond conventional policy studies, it traces the patterns in Australian reactions to China from the grass-roots to official circles, highlighting the centrality of images concerning the exotic, disease, sexuality, the frontier, and China as a paradise/anti-paradise. In responding to China, Australians revealed something of themselves, and this book maps the formation of Australian conceptions of identity in the context of a cross-cultural encounter which was variously cooperative, enriching, baffling, and antagonistic. But there was no single Australian conception of China. Rather, competing perceptions jostled in a shifting dialogue.
