Review Quotes: "Ties That Bind takes a novel and interesting approach to a topic that has received little attention. Based on groundbreaking research and eminently readable, it nicely bridges the fields of diplomatic and Asian American history, both of which have been working toward a new Pacific history that integrates transnational and international elements."--Gregg A. Brazinsky, author of Winning the Third World: Sino-American Rivalry during the Cold War
