Product Information
Nancy Bernkopf Tucker confronts the coldest period of the cold war--the moment in which personality, American political culture, public opinion, and high politics came together to define the Eisenhower Administration's policy toward China. A sophisticated, multidimensional account based on prodigious, cutting edge research, this volume convincingly portrays Eisenhower's private belief that close relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China were inevitable and that careful consideration of the PRC should constitute a critical part of American diplomacy. Tucker provocatively argues that the Eisenhower Administration's hostile rhetoric and tough actions toward China obscure the president's actual views. Behind the scenes, Eisenhower and his Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, pursued a more nuanced approach, one better suited to China's specific challenges and the stabilization of the global community. Tucker deftly explores the contradictions between Eisenhower and his advisors' public and private positions. Her most powerful chapter centers on Eisenhower's recognition that rigid trade prohibitions would undermine the global postwar economic recovery and push China into a closer relationship with the Soviet Union. Ultimately, Tucker finds Eisenhower's strategic thinking on Europe and his fear of toxic, anticommunist domestic politics constrained his leadership, making a fundamental shift in U.S. policy toward China difficult if not impossible. Consequently, the president was unable to engage congress and the public effectively on China, ultimately failing to realize his own high standards as a leader.

Reviews
One of our most distinguished and influential analysts of American relations with China, Tucker has now exploited newly declassified Chinese and U.S. records -- as well as films such as The Manchurian Candidate -- to provide a superbly told account. Eisenhower's unvarnished opinions about John Foster Dulles, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy, among others, make eminently interesting reading, and Tucker's nuanced conclusions about the actual U.S.--China relationship during this era of Senator Joe McCarthy and multiple threats of nuclear war make the volume exceptionally significant., A comprehensive, informative and authoritative account of Sino-American relations during Eisenhower's presidency... Important and refreshing., ...a crisply written, judicious, and comprehensive appraisal of the Eisenhower administration's policy towards China. It will be of greatest use to undergraduates and laymen., One of our most distinguished and influential analysts of American relations with China, Tucker has now exploited newly declassified Chinese and U.S. records--as well as films such as The Manchurian Candidate --to provide a superbly told account. Eisenhower's unvarnished opinions about John Foster Dulles, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy, among others, make eminently interesting reading, and Tucker's nuanced conclusions about the actual U.S.-China relationship during this era of Senator Joe McCarthy and multiple threats of nuclear war make the volume exceptionally significant., This authoritative account reflects Tucker's life-long engagement with the vicissitudes and nuances of U.S.-China relations. Her book offers insightful, often original portraits of policy makers in Washington, incorporating such themes as racism that still governed the way American leaders viewed Asia. It also considers Chinese trade, the importance of which Eisenhower and other administration officials well understood, but which, because of the Cold War policy of rigid restrictions, caused serious friction with such allies as Britain, Canada, and Japan. A must read for anyone who wishes to understand the tortuous origins of today's Asia-Pacific community., Any collection strong in China culture and politics or U.S. political history will find this a winning addition., This authoritative account of the Eisenhower administration's approach to the emergence of the People's Republic of China reflects Nancy Tucker's life-long engagement with the vicissitudes and nuances of U.S.-China relations. The book offers insightful, often original, portraits of the policy makers in Washington, incorporating such themes as racism that still governed the way American leaders looked at Asia, as well as Chinese trade about whose importance Eisenhower and other administration officials well understood but about which the Cold War policy of rigid restrictions caused serious friction with allies such as Britain, Canada, and Japan.

It will be of greatest use to undergraduates and laymen., One of our most distinguished and influential authors who analyzes American relations with China, Nancy Bernkopf Tucker has now exploited newly declassified Chinese and U.S. records --as well as a number of films such as The Manchurian Candidate --to provide a superbly told account of how, contrary to what we thought we knew, President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles developed high-level talks with, and eased Harry Truman's economic war against, China in the 1950s. Eisenhower's unvarnished opinions about Dulles, Nixon, and John F. Kennedy, among others, make exceptionally interesting reading. And Tucker's nuanced conclusions about the actual U.S.-China relationship during this era of Senator Joe McCarthy and multiple threats of nuclear war make the volume exceptionally significant., One of our most distinguished and influential analysts of American relations with China, Tucker has now exploited newly declassified Chinese and U.S. records-as well as films such as The Manchurian Candidate -to provide a superbly told account. Eisenhower's unvarnished opinions about John Foster Dulles, Richard Nixon, and John F. Kennedy, among others, make eminently interesting reading, and Tucker's nuanced conclusions about the actual U.S.-China relationship during this era of Senator Joe McCarthy and multiple threats of nuclear war make the volume exceptionally significant., Tucker shows us again why she is a giant in the study of America's Cold War diplomacy toward China. While theories of abstract rationality abound in contemporary scholarship, The China Threat takes a more complex and convincing approach, reminding us that even our greatest strategists are human beings and that their choices are affected by emotions, biases, and misperceptions., This book should be highly recommended for students of U.S.-China relations in general and U.S.-China policy during the 1950s in particular.
