"An insightful and informative account of the maneuverings of
Stalin, Chiang Kai-shek, and Mao Zedong as they sought to serve the
interests of their nations according to their own individual
perceptions....Garver provides the reader with a unique opportunity
to understand both Chinese Nationalist and Communist perspectives
regarding Soviet intentions....Highly recommended. A must for the
scholar and the student in the field."--Choice
"Garver's book is the authoritative study on this period of
Sino-Soviet relations and a major contribution to the history of
Chinese foreign relations. A model of scholarship, rich in
fascinating detail and bristling with provocative interpretations,
it transforms our understanding of a hitherto murky era. More than
that, it is simply the best book we now have on any period of
Chinese-Soviet relations."--Steven I. Levine, The American
University
"Garver has exploited a rich new vein of Chinese-language source
materials, including notably official documents, memoirs, and
scholarly accounts. The result is a fresh and in-depth treatment of
wartime Chinese policy."--Michael H. Hunt, University of North
Carolina, Chapel Hill
"Dr. Garver's multiarchival and meticulous research brilliantly
illuminates previously dark passages in Nationalist China's
relations with the Soviet Union. Wholly objective and
dispassionate, he offers shrewd insight into the diplomatic record
of an obscure but important period in Sino-Soviet
relations."--Allen S. Whiting, University of Arizona
