Reviews

[Neo Pacheco · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a historical and informational novel that reviews Soviet and Chinese communist power influence over the world. It delves into strategies, leaders, and political strife between the mentioned countries and other foreign powers, including France, England, The United States of America, and other countries. Throughout the book history is mentioned time and time again, tying what happened years ago to significant events today, even mentioning infamous leaders like Stalin, and Mao Zedong, and more obscure leaders like Khrushchev. Some strategies mentioned were the deconstruction of third-world countries to convert them into communism. The book is a 5/5 on the informational category, but it fails to excite readers that aren’t specifically interested in this category of history, but other than that, the book is an archive of information, and I enjoyed learning from it.
