About this title

Synopsis

This book discloses new aspects of U.S. diplomacy in Asia and the real role of the Foreign Service behind the political facade including early offers by the U.S. of modus vivendi before the PRC was formed and Mao giving in to Moscow in arresting U.S. consuls making these offers. It also explores China's participation in the original invasion of South Korea as well as the Taiwan Strait crisis and why Chinese-supported insurgencies failed in Indonesia and Thailand.
