Good Deeds & Gunboats : Two Centuries of American-Chinese Encounters by Hugh Deane
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.6mb
Overview: Contrasts between Americans who sought to intervene in and control China and those who came to assist pose the dialectic of this book. The author was a Chinese exchange student in 1936 and a wartime journalist in the 1940s. He first surveys the history of U.S.-China relations through the early 1980s and then narrates many individual episodes, e.g., Herbert Hoover’s takeover of a Chinese mining company, Paul Robeson’s support of China’s self-determination in the 1940s, CIA subversion in Tibet. Deane’s sympathies are noninterventionist. Not covered is the recent Tiananmen uprising. Still, this is an insightful, useful resource for larger subject collections.
