War and Peace with China: First-Hand Experiences in the Foreign Service of the United States

by Marshall Green, John J. Holdridge, William N. Stokes

This book discloses new aspects of U.S. diplomacy in Asia and the real role of the Foreign Service behind the political facade including early offers by the U.S. of modus vivendi before the PRC was formed and Mao giving in to Moscow in arresting U.S. consuls making these offers. It also explores China's participation in the original invasion of South Korea as well as the Taiwan Strait crisis and why Chinese-supported insurgencies failed in Indonesia and Thailand.
