China's conflict with India and the Soviet Union

Though it deals with some aspect of China's international relations, the present work is not a regular history in this line. It is meant for the general readers who need a brief but authentic treatment of facts throwing light on China's conflict with India and the Soviet Union. Still the work is not a mere compilation from other writers. The author has tried here as far as possible to point out the interaction of the most significant events in the history of Sine-Soviet and Sino- Indian relations and other relevant facts, and as
such it may interest the specialists as well. With this end in view he has added, whenever necessary, notes giving elucidations, and reference to sources. It should be mentioned here that for the sake of convenience of treatment, China's relationship with the Soviet Union has been taken up first. For it reveals to a great extent the indispensable background to modern China's conflict with India. And unlike other writers on the subject, the present author has treated, though briefly, the entire history of the relations
of the two countries concerned. This, it is hoped, would help the reader to realize better the full implication of China's unexpected change from an attitude of sincere friendship to that of bitter antagonism towards the countries concerned.
