Summary:

This book is a study of Albania-China relations during the second half of the 20th century. Both countries have had a similar political system based on the same ideology for more than two decades. Indeed, they established an alliance that is unique of its kind; keeping in mind that such friendly relations were created between a small country with a population of 2-3 million (Albania) and a very large country with a population of 700 million (China).The book details unique characteristics of this alliance, highlighting that this interesting relationship is based on specific interests. It shows how this alliance has unfolded, from its initial optimism to the later sworn animosity between the two countries. The outcome of the relationship between Tirana and Beijing had its climax at the end of 1960s, which saw in a major crack in the alliance due to China's newly established affinity with the USA.
