An analysis of why relations between the United States and the Chinese Communists were hostile in the first decade of the Cold War. It discusses questions such as why Truman refused to recognize the Chinese Communists and why Mao shelled islands in the Taiwan Straits in 1958. It provides a link between domestic politics and foreign policy.
