Nixon in China

Margaret MacMillan recently published Nixon and Mao: The Week that Changed the World (Random House, 2007) and there’s been a small flurry of thinking-about-Nixon-in-China activity (see, for example, some of the recent messages at H-Diplo). Today’s New York Times Book Review features a review of Nixon and Mao by John Lewis Gaddis (the first chapter of MacMillan’s book is available online courtesy of the New York Times). Also, the Council on Foreign Relations sponsored a roundtable discussion on Nixon in China featuring Bernard Kalb, Margaret MacMillan, and J. Stapleton Roy and you can listen to the discussion online (link to mp3 audio file) or watch a video of it.
