Jamil Hansali is one of the most original historians of the Cold War. This book-the latest in a series of path-breaking studies-shows how Joseph Stalin manipulated an ethnic insurgency in Xinjiang to reach his geopolitical goals in Northwest China. This is an essential, eye-opening read for understanding Stalin's foreign policy. -- Sergey Radchenko, Cardiff University
