Reviews for The Cold War's Odd Couple: The Unintended Partnership between the Republic of China and the UK, 1950-1958 (Library of International Relations)
'The Cold War's Odd Couple has filled a significant void in the existing literature on East Asian international history.' 'Its provocative thesis will be a subject of debate among historians for years to come.' 'Tsang has done an admirable job in explaining the failure of Britain's China policy.'
