About This Item
Kuala Lumpur: University of Malaya Press, 1968. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. There is a large body of literature on Western incursions into China from this period until World War II, but the relationship between China and its largest neighbour has not been so well documented outside China and Russia. In this book, based mainly on Chinese and Western sources, the author explores the more subtle highs and lows of diplomatic relations between both countries, which laid the foundation for a longer lasting relationship from World War II onwards. Very Good Hardback First Edition 339 pages. Weight: 0.9kg. Post free within Malaysia The cover is clean and gilt titling bright. There are light shadows from dust jacket flaps on the end papers. The binding is tight and the text clear with no tanning throughout. A really nice copy
