Henry Kissinger's sweeping history of China offers a unique perspective on the country's modern relations with the West. With decades of intimate knowledge, Kissinger provides insight into pivotal events such as initial encounters with European powers, the formation and breakdown of the Sino-Soviet alliance, and Richard Nixon's historic trip to Beijing.

With a new final chapter on China's twenty-first-century role in global politics and economics, On China provides historical perspective on Chinese foreign affairs from one of the premier statesmen of our time.
