madamegeneva's review against another edition

Picked this up on a whim, and started reading and devoured it all that afternoon.
If anything, it was interesting to compare 70s China to 2020 China - not to mention the outdated writing style.
But I enjoyed it.

I def read this and def wrote a whole review for it, but i can't find the edition I added anywhere on Goodreads. Did you remove my edition from your database goodreads?? And does that mean my review is gone into the void forever?? Why are you been so glitchy lately, friend?

Some of this is quite dated, of course. There’s one instance of bad historical analysis (re: Opium Wars), but for the main an interesting look at how foreigners (especially Americans) saw China at the time. The final chapter - reproduction of Tuchman’s Foreign Affairs piece, “If Mao Had Come to Washington in 1945” - is superb. (And gained this book the extra *.)
