A great but horrifying book
Published by Pauloz , 4 months ago
If you want to know how the US involvement in Asia took so many disastrous turns, this book spells it out in merciless detail. A must-read for academics, historians, Sinophiles like me, and those interested in intelligence at senior government levels. It's a good read, but be prepared to wince frequently.
A great source for Service's reports
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
For those unable to reach for a copy of Foreign Relations of the United States for the appropiate years, or unwilling to dig through them, this collection of Service's reports is a good stand in. The reports are reproduced and edited together by subject. This has its good and bad qualities. Good in that you can more easily look up Service's point of view on topics in China, but bad in that it makes it easier to over look or confuse the chronology of the reports. Overall, a must have for anyone interested in John Service.
