Customer Reviews

A great source for Service's reports

For those unable to reach for a copy of Foreign Relations of the United States for the appropiate years, or unwilling to dig through them, this collection of Service's reports is a good stand in. The reports are reproduced and edited together by subject. This has its good and bad qualities. Good in that you can more easily look up Service's point of view on topics in China, but bad in that it makes it easier to over look or confuse the chronology of the reports. Overall, a must have for anyone interested in John Service.
