Terry Lautz writes and teaches on the history of United States-China relations. He is former vice president of the Henry Luce Foundation, and has chaired the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the Lingnan Foundation, and the Yale-China Association. He is the author of John Birch: A Life (Oxford, 2016) and lives in Reston, Virginia.

This wonderfully moving work recovers real human lives and voices that lay at the core of US-China relations. The lived experiences, hopes and dreams, fears and admonitions of a wide spectrum of Americans were fundamentally altered by their deep connections with China. Their stories reveal that many of the questions Americans have had about the world's largest nation are longstanding, unresolved, and as important as ever.
