Pomfret (Chinese Lessons) has written for the Washington Post and has been a Fulbright scholar in Beijing. His research into the culture of China and the nature of the relationship between China and America is ongoing and thorough. His interest in the ways in which the history of the two countries and cultures have intersected and sometimes collided is broad. He refers to interactions between Chinese and American officials to illustrate the ways in which the cultures work for and against the best interests of each country on the world stage. He also offers insightful glimpses into the ways in which students, missionaries, and women have been treated in China and the ways in which Americans have interpreted its issues with civil rights. Tom Perkins offers a lively reading.
VERDICT Recommended as interest warrants. ["Essential for anyone with an interest in the topic": LJ 10/1/16 review of the Holt hc.]
