""America's First Adventure in China" is a well written, succinct, and elegant book. Haddad brings a fresh approach to--and makes a convincing case for his characterization of--the American presence in China. He describes how the Americans were isolated individuals acting pretty much on their own and with nothing in the way of state, military, or other institutional support. Their experience--operating in a fog of ignorance about a world to which they had only the most limited access--is significant, and he explains why the American experience diverged from rather than followed on the British model." --Peter Buck, Senior Lecturer (retired) on the History of Science, Harvard University
