Item Description
No relationship is more important to the United States than its relationship with China, which in a few years will surpass the US as the biggest economy in the world. EB Parent John Pomfret has written an award-winning, critically acclaimed book on the history of the relationship that starts in the 1780s when the first American trading ship went to China and end with the election of Donald Trump. Here’s what the critics have said about it.
Winner of the Council on Foreign Relations Arthur Ross Award for the best book of 2017.
"Donald Trump (or his next secretary of state) would be well advised to read this timely and comprehensively informative book...very good and important." âSimon Winchester for The New York Times Book Review
"...exhaustively researched and vigorously told...If the new administration in Washington wishes to get a sense of the broad sweep of American history with China, I can think of few better places to start than this book." âHoward W. French for The Wall Street Journal
"[An] absorbing new book...[Pomfret] weaves a lively tale, peppered with a cast of adventurers, spies, preachers, communists and McCarthyites who have boosted and sabotaged the relationship in turn over the years." âThe Economist
