"I enjoyed MacMillan's treatment of this important event. Without sugar-coating Nixon's weaknesses, she went into great detail and included Kissinger's and Chou En Lai's important roles. In fact, she probably wrote more pages relating to these two than on Nixon or Mao.
It was enlightening to learn that Kissinger was passing secrets of Soviet security to demonstrate good will, and that he and Nixon did all they could to keep the US State dept out of the event, much to their dismay and anger.
You can see the seeds of Nixon's downfall with the demonstrated paranoia towards his own administration, the press and, in fact everyone outside his small circle of trusted aides sown in these years just before Watergate.
Still, you must agree with Nixon that he and Kissinger deserved credit for opening this important door that maybe nobody else could have.
In so many ways a fatally flawed man, who you cannot admire. Still, despite those inexcusable faults, he accomplished a major change in world history."
"This book was interesting at parts and dragged in others. I really enjoyed the history portions, but they spent way to much time on the week. Mao really seemed to be someone who power had corrupted. The why in which Nixon turned the whole thing into a TV production was creepy, but I guess not surprising. The best parts where the backgrounds of each of the major Chinese players."
