Written by Michael Lindsay, Lord Lindsay of Birker — a British academic with rare first-hand experience living and working in wartime Communist China — this work dissects the complex diplomatic, military, and ideological tensions between the major world powers, placing China at the very centre of the Cold War chessboard.\n\nLindsay draws on his exceptional personal insight and scholarly authority to argue that Western understanding of China was fundamentally distorted by Cold War assumptions, urging a more nuanced and strategically sophisticated approach to international relations in Asia. His prose is measured yet forceful, blending academic rigour with the conviction of a man who witnessed history from the inside. Published by Melbourne University Press, this volume stands as a significant contribution to Cold War historiography — and its central question, of how the West should engage with a rising, ideologically distinct China, remains as urgent and unresolved today as when Lindsay first posed it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203323175131,"sku":"2026200013320-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7cff810e-ee5b-4084-a710-950493cc9e0f.png?v=1788147830","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013320-secondhand-china-and-the-cold-war-a-study-in-international-politics","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
