In this book V. B. Vorontsov, D. Sc. (Hist.), offers a history-oriented analysis of the policies pursued by the USA and China in the Pacific, the contradictions between them, and their tactics relative to third nations in the period from the 1960s to the early 1980s. The reader is led up to the conclusions to be drawn from the historical lessons learned by the governments of the USA and China in the process of their attempts to form a military-political alliance.
