"A very good attempt to give a coherent and consistent account
of the China-U.S. contacts during the Cold War.... R]eaders will
certainly gain a better understanding of this interesting and
intricate history." Zhou Wenzhong, Chinese Ambassador to the United
States
Few relationships during the Cold War were as dramatic as that
between the United States and China. During World War II, China was
America s ally against Japan. By 1949, the two countries viewed
each other as adversaries and soon faced off in Korea. For the next
two decades, Beijing and Washington were bitter enemies.
Negotiating with the Enemy is a gripping account of that period. On
several occasions Taiwan in 1954 and 1958, and Vietnam in 1965 the
nations were again on the verge of direct military confrontation.
However, even as relations seemed at their worst, the process
leading to a rapprochement had begun. Dramatic episodes such as the
Ping-Pong diplomacy of spring 1971 and Henry Kissinger s secret
trip to Beijing in July 1971 paved the way for Nixon s historic
1972 meeting with Mao."
