The book makes an objective appraisal of the foreign policy motivations and international behaviour of the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, and Vietnam-the erstwhile Communist allies. It suggests that a consciousness of power and overriding considerations of national interests have conditioned the making of their foreign policies with ideology playing a minimal role in it. The author views favourably the current trend of Sino-Soviet normalization, but feels that a real rapprochement between the two Communist giants is dependent more on Soviet actions than on Chinese reciprocity.
A foreword by a distinguished American scholar, Professor Lee E. Rose, adds a third world dimension to the understanding of the triangular Communist foreign policy interactions.
