Synopsis

Now in stock!Realignment of World Power: The Russo-Chinese Schism Volume I by Oton Ambroz, expert on China of Radio Free Europe, is the first volume of this standard reference work Series on this most important global geo-political subject. This Series was one of the most effective psychological stimuli tools during the Cold War and contributed importantly to the processes in the former Soviet Union that resulted in the collapse of the Soviet Empire and to the ongoing processes in China leading to the replacement of the essentially unChinese Communist system by a governance more in accordance to the traditional Confucian philosophical values of the five thousand year old Chinese nation, America's old friend across the Tai Ping Yang (Pacific Ocean). The Editor-in-Chief of Morning Star Press, Jon P. Speller, worked very closely with Slovene scholar and author Oton Ambroz, who was an Assistant Editor of EAST EUROPE Magazine under him, on this seminal research work on the topic. Speller was then Editor of EAST EUROPE Magazine and of Robert Speller and Sons, Publishers, and was gratified, if overwhelmed, by Ambroz' remarks in his Acknowledgments: "It was a pleasure to deal with my editor-in-chief, Dr. Jon P. Speller, a man of rare knowledge and of instant and clear judgment." Daily study of Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) transcripts of monitored Chinese and Russian language radio broadcasts contributed importantly to this work and their citations in the Ambroz book have contemporary relevance, e.g. from page 280 of Volume I: "An education reform group headed by Ch'en Po-ta was set up to create a revolutionary school system." (Radio Shanghai in Mandarin, June 10, 1966). This citation is an excellent example among many precedents cited by Ambroz of the methods utilized in China by the Communist regime to try to navigate through internal problems, even on into the twenty first century. The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science said the volumes of this Series "...provide the most comprehensive coverage...bolstered by numerous references and an extensive bibliography.": "These volumes of this seriesAny institution that provides access to scholars and students interested in China must have on its shelves the three volumes of this series written by Oton Ambroz. The Western Political Quarterly reviewed this Series as follows: "The author has based this study on a great variety of sources, both primary and secondary, including opinions of leading experts in the field. His study provides a good deal of information for the general reader about the status of affairs in a potentially explosive part of the world...this book provides very useful material material for students for of contemporary communism." Oton Ambroz (1905-1994) was a noted Slovene scholar and journalist.
