Nixon in China: The Week that Changed the World

Richard Nixon was the first American President to visit China.  Planned in secret, the visit amazed the world and marked the end of the deep freeze in Sino-American relations that had started with the Communist takeover in 1949.   It was an immense gamble but a brilliant stroke of policy, changing the international balance of power . . . 

Timely, authoritative, and written with great narrative verse, Nixon in China is a landmark work of history that draws on newly available material from the United States and China, as well as from interviews with all major survivors to re-examine that fateful week.
