Beskrivning

The relationship between the USA and the People's Republic of China (PRC) was the defining factor in the Cold War in Asia - the potentially explosive conflict which, as seen in the Korean War, brought the world to the brink of nuclear disaster. The PRC had not become 'Titoist' as some hoped and remained firmly within the Soviet international orbit. But how did Great Britain and the Republic of China (ROC) fit into this potentially lethal global jigsaw? Steve Tsang has illuminated the history of a seemingly obscure corner of international relations and politics but which was, to contempories, at the heart of global survival. He has carried out extensive research in unique Chinese- and English-language sources, both official and private.

'The Cold War's Odd Couple has filled a significant void in the existing literature on East Asian international history.' 'Its provocative thesis will be a subject of debate among historians for years to come.' 'Tsang has done an admirable job in explaining the failure of Britain's China policy.' -- Chi-Kwan Mark, Institute of Historical Research, 30th March 2006
