Description
Comrade Enver Hoxha’s book “The Superpowers” is composed of extracts from his political diary on international questions, the source of his other books “Reflections on China,” “Reflections on the Middle East,” etc. In this book, he exposes the plots and manoeuvres of the two superpowers in that period, the United States and Soviet Union, tracing their creation, nature and strategies throughout the mid-late 20th century. The United States created the Cold War and has been the greatest global enforcer of imperialism since the end of the Second World War. At the same time, the Soviet Union played their role in destroying the genuine communist parties and suppressing revolutionary movements worldwide. In collusion and contention, U.S. imperialism and Soviet social-imperialism played the most destructive role against the peoples. Comrade Enver Hoxha analyses all the events of this period, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Vietnam War, the Soviet invasions of Czechoslovakia and Afghanistan to the American interventions in the Middle East, etc., as well as the domineering role the two superpowers played within NATO and the Warsaw Treaty. The subjugation of the small nations to the big ones is, thus, given a significant role, and the emergence of other powers such as “United Europe” and China with their Sino-American alliance are treated. Comrade Enver Hoxha also examines the crises and anarchy in the capitalist and revisionist countries and determines them to be products of the policies of the two superpowers. Key to all of this is the rejection that the superpowers and their military might are invincible — that the outcome of the historic struggle against imperialism is decided by the peoples and proletariat.
