Book excerpt: It is 1970 and Richard Nixon knows that in two years he will face a disgruntled electorate if he cannot distract their attention from the increasingly unpopular Vietnam War. His Administration considers playing the so-called 'China Card'...to establish warmer relations with the communist regime while delicately balancing American commitments to Taiwan. It would certainly be heralded as a political coup; but a task easier set than done.
