Reviews

[Ran Li · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this book is fair.

It's quite interesting to see how Chinese scholars analyze the revealed reports of CIA from 30 years ago. However, on the other hand, this book is quite plain and academic. I feel that it may be too dry for ordinary readers.

The editor is a self-taught legendary Chinese scholar who had a very very colorful life before he finally found his way to the academia. Up to now, he's one of the best scholars who study the history of cold war in China. Many of his work is very enlightening, especially regarding recent events in the world.
