" The first full biography of one of the essential figures
behind the creation of modern China. Chinese diplomat V.K.
Wellington Koo (1888-1985) was involved in virtually every foreign
and domestic crisis in twentieth-century China. After earning a
Ph.D. from Columbia University, Koo entered government service in
1912 intent on revising the unequal treaty system imposed on China
in the nineteenth century, believing that breaking the shackles of
imperialism would bring China into the "family of nations." His
pursuit of this nationalistic agenda was immediately interrupted by
Chinese civil war and Japanese imperialism during World War I. In
the 1930s Koo attempted to use international law to force western
powers to honor their treaty obligations to punish Japanese
expansion. Koo also participated in creating the League of Nations
and later the United Nations in the hope that collective security
would become reality.
