The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the early history of Soviet-Pacific relations, from the Russian Empire's expansion into the Pacific region in the 19th century to the Soviet Union's establishment in 1922. The second part focuses on the Soviet Union's relations with the major powers in the Pacific region, including the United States, China, Japan, and Korea. The third part examines the Soviet Union's relations with the smaller countries in the Pacific region, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.

The book concludes with a discussion of the Soviet Union's legacy in the Pacific region. The author argues that the Soviet Union's presence in the Pacific region had a profound impact on the region's history and that its collapse in 1991 created a new era of uncertainty and opportunity in the Pacific region.
