Sino-American Relations 1949-1971

Sino-American Relations 1949–1971 (1972) by Roderick MacFarquhar – David & Charles
Peddled proudly by Crappy Old Books – where geopolitical nuance meets dog-eared pages.

Before Nixon met Mao and ping-pong became diplomacy, Roderick MacFarquhar was already charting the rocky, paranoid, and occasionally absurd terrain between China and the United States. Published in 1972, this concise yet heavyweight analysis covers the Cold War chill, mutual suspicion, backchannel flirtations, and the slow thaw of one of the 20th century’s strangest diplomatic stand-offs.

This edition from David & Charles may have the charm of a forgotten filing cabinet—yellowed edges, Cold War-era typesetting, and possibly a faint smell of embassy paper—but inside lies razor-sharp commentary from one of Britain’s foremost China scholars.

Crappy Old Books – For readers who like their history unvarnished and their covers a little curled.

Hard back with dust jacket, all very good condition.
