This is the book in print and it's good. But if you want to give a book to a friend (or son or daughter) that they won't put down- buy the 223 pg paperback from the 1975-era. It was amazing for me when I first read it and I've handed it to several young people who all appreciated it. I don't think this latest tome would get the same reception, though it's more up-to-date historically.

I read Stoessinger's book for an International Relations course at college. Though Sotessinger was less "wordy" than other authors, he certainly packed this book full of information. Though under 400 pages, this book contained more information, anecdotes, and facts than the rest of my texts combined. In fact, my only criticism of this book is that it is easy to get bogged down in the details. However, I would recommend this strongly to anyone interested in, or studying, US relations with China and Russia.

This work was a lifesaver! Stoessinger presents important information that I was unable to find in any other book located in the local university library. This book, which is used by many universities as a text book was extremely useful in my research studies of American foreign relations with China and Russia. Stoessinger I thank you!
