In the 1950s, most of the American public opposed diplomatic and
trade relations with Communist China; traditional historiography
blames this widespread hostility for the tensions between China and
the United States during Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency. In this
book, Mara Oliva reconsiders the influence of U.S. public opinion
on Sino-American relations, arguing that it is understudied and
often misinterpreted. She shows how the Eisenhower administration's
hard line policy towards Beijing had been formulated in line with
U.S. national security interests, not as a result of public
pressure. However, the public did play a significant role in
shaping the implementation, timing and political communication of
Washington's strategy, ultimately hampering relations with the
Communist giant and seriously heightening the risk of nuclear
conflict. Drawing together an extensive array of published and
unpublished sources, this book offers a new prism for understanding
one of the most difficult decades in the history of both countries.
