Worlds Apart : China 1953-55 U.S.S.R. 1962-65
This book examines two critical periods in the Cold War era, focusing on the divergence between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Soviet Union (USSR). The first part of the study delves into the period 1953–1955, when China, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, navigated its relationship with the Soviet Union after Stalin’s death, exploring the fluctuating dynamics between the two states. The second part shifts to 1962–1965, a time when the Soviet Union, under Nikita Khrushchev, confronted the growing rift with China that ultimately led to the Sino-Soviet split. By analyzing diplomatic exchanges, ideological confrontations, and military strategies, Worlds Apart reveals the deepening rift between these two communist giants, offering a critical lens through which to understand the complexities of Cold War alliances and the ideological battles within the socialist camp. Otte argues that the split, while often viewed as inevitable, was not a foregone conclusion, and its development was shaped by a series of diplomatic and personal factors, revealing the fragility of international relations in the bipolar world of the mid-20th century.
