Sarah Paine Lecture 1: India & the Intervening Powers The Cold War was full of 4D chess. Nothing illustrates it better than the little-known tug-of-war over India between America, China, and the Soviets. So much of C20th history in this episode: Maoist communism v Fabian socialism, the Sino-Soviet split, massive diplomatic screwups, the whole sordid game of thrones. Sarah Paine is our most popular guest to date by far. She returns for a six-hour trilogy distilling lessons from a lifetime of scholarship. Followed by the usual deep Q&A. Huge thanks to @substack for hosting this! Links in reply. Enjoy!
