The United States and China

Into the Twenty-First Century, Fourth Edition

Michael Schaller

From the Opium Wars of the 1840s, to the Red Scare of the 1940s, through the Tiananmen Square "massacre" of 1989, and the Wen Ho Lee "espionage case" of 2000, Chinese-American relations have swung like a pendulum throughout the years. Now in its fourth edition and thoroughly revised and updated, The United States and China: Into the Twenty-First Century looks at more than a century of Chinese-American turmoil from a dual perspective, examining how two dramatically different cultures interacted, cooperated, and collided.

Readership : Students and scholars of United States Foreign Policy or United States and China Foreign Policy.

Reviews

"Schaller provides an excellent survey of Chinese-American relations without sacrificing depth or treating subjects in a one-dimensional manner. This text is perfectly suitable for undergraduates at all levels and survey classes dealing with China."

--Harold J. Goldberg, Underdown Distinguished Professor of History, The University of the South
"Schaller consistently reflect[s] an excellent grasp of the facts and an ability to go from narration to interpretive analysis."

--Shuo Wang, California State University, Stanislaus
