Zi Zhongyun. No Exit? The Origin and Evolution of U.S. Policy toward China, 1945–1950. (A Study of the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Center.) Norwalk, Conn.: Eastbridge. 2004. Pp. xx, 334. Cloth $34.95, paper $24.95.

The author of this fine monograph, originally published in Chinese in 1987, is among the most well-known and well-respected Chinese scholars of American Studies and United States-China relations. Zi Zhongyun's book was one of the first historical studies based on extensive use of American archives to emerge in the early period of normalization and is based largely on research conducted in 1982–1983, when she was a visiting scholar at the Center of International Studies at Princeton University. Michael H. Hunt, in a helpful foreword to this volume, correctly calls Zi's book "a historical breakthrough," as it examines U.S. policy with a sensitivity absent from earlier work from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The Chinese edition won a 1993 prize as one of the most important works in the social sciences to be published in China in the previous fifteen years. The author describes her book as strictly a "work of history" in which she has tried "to explore the historical facts and to present them as faithfully as possible" (p. xvi).
