In 1972 Nixon amazed the world by going to China. The first trip ever by a US President marked the end of deep freeze in Sino-American relations that started with the Communist takeover in 1949. It was an immense gamble but a brilliant stroke of policy, which changed the international balance of power for ever. With China onside Nixon might get out of Vietnam; US knowhow could help Mao recover from his disastrous Cultural Revolution; most of all, each would have backup against the increasingly aggressive Soviet Union. In the longer term, though, was Nixon the supplicant to China, and has the US been at a disadvantage ever since? Will the twenty-first century see co-operation or China challenging American dominance?
This is a fascinating history enacted by extraordinary players: Nixon himself, red-baiter, shrewd statesman, and disgraced politician; Mao, frail, erratic, ruthless; the twin Machiavellis Kissinger and Chou En-lai; brittle, unhappy Pat Nixon; and Mao's wife Jiang Qing, the small-time Shanghai actress become scourge of Chinese cultural arts. And the countries themselves: Communist China, contemptuous but fearful of the outside world, the USA, rich and powerful, and both seeing themselves as models for humanity. The gap between them was huge and still exists today.

評分高中的时候,我学的是理科,喜欢的是物理化学,最害怕便是历史政治。这本《当尼克松遇上毛泽东——改变世界的一周》的上架建议就是历史政治,不过它并没有让我害怕,反而很让人上瘾。 《当尼克松遇上毛泽东——改变世界的一周》共计三百多页,二十二万字,算是个大部头。顾名思...
評分 評分十九世纪英国首相帕麦斯顿说过:没有永远的朋友,只有永恒的利益。这句话也成为英国外交立国之本进而被人传诵至今,并无数次地在外交史上被印证。而在中国与美国外交关系的破冰之旅,无疑也是这句话的最佳诠释。 美国与中国的关系历来是错综复杂的,两国从政治层面甚至...
