Clash on the Ussuri
2–15 Mar 1969 — Soviet and Chinese troops kill each other over a frozen river island; Moscow sounds out Washington about striking China’s nuclear sites. The communist world is now two rivals — and both need America.
This is one scene of Chapter 9 — Détente: The Triangle in The Cold War, 1945–1991.
