Mr. Whiting has written that rare book - one free from political
inference concerning a political act. China's decision is viewed
against the background of the problems and complexities of a
fledgling Communist government and the book is as close an inside
view as is possible to obtain without access to Red Chinese
government sources. The decision to enter North Korea by the
leaders of the Chinese government marked China as a real force in
international relations, one that she had ceased to be. Naturally
it was fraught with serious after effects: close affiliation with
Russia; crystallization of the strict Marxist position; a death
struggle with the West; and most important, China's role as the
image of the Saviour in the East against historical "foreign
domination". Whiting also handles other offshoots of China's
entering the Korean war, for example, the concept of limited war.
This is a capable work, penetrating, and with a feel for the
Realpolitik of China's decisions. It is certain to raise many
questions among serious students of world Communism. (Kirkus
