'A prodigiously powerful and disturbing book, making an unanswerable case that
for a secure international future the US needs to resurrect the values on which
it was founded. ' - Mark Elvin, Australian National University
'This no-nonsense, informative history of Sino-American relations since the nineteenth century pulls no ppunches as to which nation bears the onus for long-term tensions between them. Its argument that America and China need, and can build, a strategic partnership is powerful and convincing. Radha Sinha's even-handed interpretations are astute and thought-provoking.' - Ramon H. Myers, Hoover Institute, Stanford University
' An experienced economist and Asia-watcher who is not afraid to challenge conventional thinking, Radha Sinha takes us through the past, present and future of the crucial Sino-American relationship in this thought-provoking and well-researched volume.' - Brian Bridges, Lingnan University, Hong Kong
