By utilizing a wide range of sources, including recently declassified government documents, the authors offer a deep look into how the United States interacts with China, Japan, and Korea. Readers can examine specific historical shifts, such as the "new policy" toward the People's Republic of China and whether a sudden change in U.S. policy actually occurred. This text also analyzes the attitudes held by the American public and Congress toward the Republic of China, while investigating the friction points between the United States and Japan. It is a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in international institutions, government, and global politics.
