America, Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat

by Tingfang Wu

America, Through the Spectacles of an Oriental Diplomat, is many of the old classic books which have been considered important throughout the human history. They are now extremely scarce and very expensive antique. So that this work is never forgotten we republish these books in high quality, using the original text and artwork so that they can be preserved for the present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.

Started out interesting. Given that it was written just over 100 years ago, it is interesting to see which observations are still relevant and which ones have been overcome by events of the past century. Towards the end, though, Wu (for me) became obsessed with matters of fashion and dinner parties and he lost me.

Interesting to read about the United States from the perspective of a Chinese diplomat living in that country in the early 20th century. First person historical account, race, culture, relations from his perspective. Certainly a book of its time.
