<p>"A terrific book..Wishnick, by reason of her knowledge, perceptiveness, discernment, and linguistic skills in both Russian and Chinese, is highly qualified to narrate, conceptualize, and comment on a topic somewhat sidelined these days by more immediately dramatic international preoccupations, but on of immense importance to the evolving world order..Everyone wishing to be well informed should read this valuable work."</p>

H-Net Reviews

Mending Fences illuminates the forces driving Moscow’s China policy, from the Ussuri River clashes in 1969 to the "strategic partnership" of the 1990s. Elizabeth Wishnick analyzes the efforts of Soviet leaders simultaneously to maintain their supremacy in the international communist movement, defend their borders from a perceived Chinese threat, and ensure the compliance of regional authorities in enforcing China policy.
