Shu Guang Zhang. Economic Cold War: America's Embargo against China and the Sino-Soviet Alliance, 1949–1963. (Cold War International History Project Series.) Stanford: Stanford University Press. Washington, D.C.: Woodrow Wilson Center. 2001. Pp. xvi, 375. $49.50.

In this book, Shu Guang Zhang has produced an illuminating account of U.S. and Western economic diplomacy toward the People's Republic of China (PRC) at the height of the Cold War. Drawing on exhaustive research in American, British, Chinese, and Russian archives, the author provides the first comprehensive treatment of the origins and development of Western embargo policy against the PRC from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. Offering penetrating insights into alliance politics, the utility of economic sanctions, the impact of culture on foreign policy, and the clash of opposing political ideologies, Zhang's engrossing monograph is a valuable addition to the literature on new Cold War history. . . .
