In his latest work, John Pomfret, the author of Chinese Lessons unscrolls the history of mutual influence between the United States and China, highlighting the diplomats, thinkers, warriors, students, actresses, rascals, and revolutionaries who have shaped the two nations’ relationship for good and ill over a quarter millennium. Many of the breakthroughs and illusions Pomfret traces through these stories are relevant today as Beijing and Washington reconsider the goals and benefits of bilateral relations.
This book will be available for purchase.
