Peking.: Foreign Language Press.. April1969.. Folding map showing Soviet Revisionist Troops' Intrusion into Chinese Territory Chenpao [Zhenbao] Island, black and white photographic illustrations, 39pp, a prior owner's signature, errata loosely inserted, some staining, browning and wear covers but still good internally. 21.6 x 13.8cm. An official statement issued by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 2, 1969, accusing Soviet frontier guards of intruding into the area of Zhenbao Island and killing and wounded many Chinese frontier guards. Zhenbao Dao in Chinese, Damansky in Russian, the location of the incident the PLA soldiers took part in, was once an uninhabited islet located on the Ussuri River between the border of China and Soviet Union. An agreement was made between China and Russia in 1991 that Zhenbao Island was Chinese territory. .

Unique collection of predominantly Marxist-Leninist works of the 1970s and 1980s, mainly in Arabic and Persian. It provides an exceptional view into the efforts made to persuade the people of the Arabian Peninsula of leftist viewpoints. The works do not represent one common political viewpoint, rather, they showcase the conflicting strains of leftist realpolitik of the 1970s.

This pamphlet deals with the conflict between Soviet and Chinese border guards on Zhenbao Island that emerged around 1969 as part of the Sino-Soviet border conflict.
