Professor Elleman was an instructor of mine when I was a senior student at the Naval War College. We used this book in our class and I found it very insightful when examining the People's Republic's friction with its' neighbors since its formation in 1949. Professor Elleman's book is one of the only sources (in English) that I have come across that covers in detail China's 1979 conflict with Vietnam and the 1969 border war with the Soviet Union. It is extremely well researched and is for those who are serious about learning more about America's "rising peer competitor".
