The book gives a thoughtful account of the evolution of U.S. - China Relations in the past 60 years since Pearl Harbor till the present with the stories of the "China Hands" as the threads. It tells the readers how and why this relationship has gone through great fluctuations with completely new angle and perspective. The book is both fascinating and enlightening. The author elaborates the experiences and anecdotes, little known to the public, of some of the well known "China Hands", especially as to how they influenced the White House in its China policy with first - hand information, acquired via personal contacts. The narrative and analysis are featured with a panoramic rendering.
