America’s Response to China: A History of Sino-American Relations fifth edition

Well written and a great understanding of now and future.

Needed book - good price; fast shipping

I am college educated from U.C. Berkeley and have my degree in Economics. I will read from 2 to 6 hours a day, but found his style difficult to stay engaged.

good book

Purchased for a college class and it was a really interesting read. Also, very easy text to read and understand.

Foreign relations historian Warren I. Cohen does a masterly job of condensing more than 200 years of Sino-American history (up to the Clinton administration, so not including today's complex fiscal ties) into a brief, readable book. For the most part, his approach is factual and reportorial - Cohen avoids grand sweeps of theory and interpretation. However, to the untrained eye, this book may seem quite confusing: Cohen uses the Wade-Giles system of romanizing Chinese characters, rather than the more familiar pinyin system, and his organization of historic material is only very roughly chronological. Readers will nonetheless acquire a strong sense of the important themes, the major evolutionary stages and the prominent figures involved in the development of Sino-U.S. relations. getAbstract recommends this retrospective account to anyone with a professional, non-academic interest in the history of America's relationship with China.

I thought this book was good. I disagree with the other customer review.I enjoyed it. Clinton was very strong.(...)

I guess I already knew a lot of the information presented in this book. Still an interesting read. I liked it.
