Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. MacMillan draws parallel narratives of how the two world leaders met in a momentous handshake, and peppers her analysis with fascinating details, such as what led to Mao's 1958 decision regarding the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu and the American commitment to defend Taiwan. Textual photographs. Signed by MacMillan on the title page. Octavo. A near fine copy in a clean and bright dust jacket.
