China misperceived

The outer archives are busy

About this book

In this historical overview, the author, one of the first Westerners permitted to live in rural China, argues that the USA has consistently misinterpreted China for many years. He traces the distortions that led the US first to cringe at the "Yellow Peril", then to acclaim the new "Maoist Man".
