"In a Great Wall, former New York Times Beijing Bureau Chief Patrick Tyler brings to life the critical and often tense relationship between the world's most populous nation and the world's most powerful."--BOOK JACKET.

"Beginning on a frozen piece of wasteland on the U.S.S.R.-China border in 1969, Tyler carries us forward to 1999 when the Chinese spy scandal at Los Alamos and the accidental bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade set the stage for a new debate on China policy in the 2000 presidential election campaign.

Tyler vividly portrays an array of characters from Mao Zedong, Richard Nixon, Zhou Enlai, and Henry Kissinger to Jimmy Carter, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Deng Xiaoping, Li Peng, George Bush, and Bill Clinton, along with many others."--BOOK JACKET.
