Unstately Power: Local Causes of China's Intellectual, Legal and Governmental Reforms

by Lynn T. White, III

Overview

A critique of America's flawed Asia policy that centres on US-Japan relations but harkens back to the same disastrous views that drew America into Vietnam. The technique is a narrative flow of short vignettes woven into longer chapters; the main strands are personal reflections and interviews.
