Review of Soviet strategies in Southeast Asia
An exploration of Eastern policy under Lenin and Stalin
Expert InsightsPublished 1966
This exhaustive, penetrating, and lucid work by Professor Charles B. McLane of Dartmouth is based on nearly all Soviet sources and many interviews with Southeast Asian officials and Communist and ex-Communist leaders. The reviewer believes that McLane overstates the extent of Soviet control over the local Communist parties, and that he errs in assuming that they always follow a clearcut Soviet policy. Sometimes there is no Soviet policy, and the local parties act independently. Prepared for publication in the American Political Science Review.
