Here's Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian's review of China's Civilian Army for Axios:

She describes it as a "deeply human portrait of China's emissaries, pulling back the veil on their motivations and struggles."

"The book is a masterful retelling of modern Chinese history through the lens of China's diplomats, following top Communist Party cadre Zhou Enlai as he seeks to build a Foreign Ministry from the bottom up after the 1949 founding of the People's Republic," Allen-Ebrahimian writes.
