A gripping work of geopolitical analysis, The Coming War Between Russia and China presents a sobering and meticulously researched case for an inevitable military confrontation between the world's two dominant communist powers. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Harrison E. Salisbury draws on extensive first-hand reporting from both the Soviet Union and China to chronicle the deep ideological fractures, border tensions, and historical grievances that had pushed these former allies to the brink of open conflict. With the authoritative voice of a seasoned foreign correspondent, Salisbury uncovers the strategic military build-ups, territorial disputes along the Sino-Soviet border, and the fierce rivalry for leadership of the global communist movement. The book argues compellingly that the Sino-Soviet split was not merely a political disagreement but a fundamental clash of national interests with potentially catastrophic consequences for world peace. Written at the height of Cold War tension, this work remains a landmark in the analysis of Sino-Soviet relations and international power dynamics.
