Great Power Conflict and the Chinese Civil War

For many years, scholars relied almost exclusively on Western sources to write about Cold War history. In his 1983 survey of the field of post-1945 SinoAmerican relations, Warren I. Cohen hoped for a breakthrough in the coming decade: access to Chinese archival material.' Since 1989, a steady stream of publications utilizing new Chinese documents as well as American archives has appeared.2 By presenting highly revealing Chinese materials and incorporating Chinese perspectives into the investigation of Sino-U.S. confrontations, these new works have greatly invigorated the study of the early Cold War, especially its East Asian dimension. In varying ways, these studies have addressed many fundamental questions about the origins of the Cold War in Asia and the emergence of Sino-American conflict: What were Chinese Communist perceptions of the post-1945 international situation in general and the United States in particular? Why did Mao Zedong decide to lean to the side of the Soviet Union? What was the nature of the Mao-Stalin relationship? Why did Beijing intervene in the Korean War? What was the extent of China's assistance to the Viet Minh in the early 1950s? Many heretofore unknown events and episodes have been illuminated and many previously unanswered questions about the role of the communist side in the early Cold War have begun to be addressed.3 The appearance of these new studies would certainly have satisfied Cohen, a doyen in the field of American-East Asia relations, who, together with Akira Iriye, has made tremendous efforts to encourage fresh scholarship and introduce young scholars into the field. The book under review represents one of the latest entries in this emerging international history of the Cold War in Asia. Westad has benefited from a great deal of previously unavailable Chinese material both on the mainland and in Taiwan. From the mainland, he has drawn upon a wide array of primary sources, including officially published documentary series, memoirs,

New Directions in the Study of Early American Foreign Relations

The study of early American foreign relations has been in the doldrums for a generation. Diplomatic historians have largely overlooked the foreign policy of the early republic while they have debated the major issues of the twentieth century, especially the Cold War. The preeminence of the United States in this century, the apocalyptic stakes involved in the Cold War, and the promise of new archival material are some of the factors that have combined to create the sense that the concerns of the twentieth century are more important than early American foreign relations. Recent historiographers have noted the sparseness of new work in the early period. Jonathan Dull characterizes American foreign relations before the Constitution as “a historiographical wasteland”; Kinley Brauer describes the period 1815–1861 as “the Great American Desert.”1 Indeed, if one judges by the amount of work done recently, the field of antebellum American foreign relations is a desert, while Cold War studies are a triple-canopy rain forest.
