On China | Henry Kissinger
2 posts | 4 read | 2 reading | 2 to read
"Fascinating, shrewd . . . The book deftly traces the rhythms and patterns of Chinese history." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times In this sweeping and insightful history, Henry Kissinger turns for the first time at book length to a country he has known intimately for decades and whose modern relations with the West he helped shape. On China illuminates the inner workings of Chinese diplomacy during such pivotal events as the initial encounters between China and tight line modern European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, the Korean War, and Richard Nixon’s historic trip to Beijing. With a new final chapter on the emerging superpower’s twenty-first-century role in global politics and economics, On China provides historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of our time.

Last year, when I read Kissinger's 'On China,' I realized how little I know about this vast country with a seemingly eternal history. The book is nothing short of an elaborate case study in (Sino-American) diplomacy adorned with Chinese and Asian history. I was mostly impressed by Chinese leaders' long-term perspective - looking both into history and the future.
