Thorough History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Schaller's book provides a very detailed, thorough account of relations between the US and China, but he also includes international perspective. In other words, the book is not confined soley to the US and China -- it includes contextual details about Japan, for example. This book provides an almost text-book like amount of chronological detail but is easily readable and reveals much about the motivations of all parties involved. Excellent read.
