Review Quotes: This enthralling volume is a product of current Sino-U.S. scholarly co-operation. It makes full use of recently released Chinese and American official archives, and provides a fascinating and instructive account of how two mutually hostile powers nevertheless found it possible--indeed imperative--to communicate with each other.--Victor Funnell "Asian Affairs" (10/1/2002 12:00:00 AM)
