Description

8vo, br. ed. 417 pages. James Lilley's life has been entwined with China's fate since 1917, when his father started selling kerosene for Standard Oil along the Yangtze River. China Hands recounts his adventures as well as those of three generations of his family - all of them absorbing, many of them exciting, and one unduly tragic. It is a fascinating and moving look at America in Asia, Asia itself, and the remarkable life of one especially capable American. Includes an Index. ". . . a splendid memoir - as engaging as it it informative." - James Schlesinger, Former Director of the CIA (Key Words: Memoirs, James Lilley, China, Jeffrey, Asia, Foreign Relations, Tiananmen Square, Taiwan, Ronald Reagan, South Korea, North Vietnam, North Korea, Kaos, Hong Kong, Den Xiaoping, Chou En-lai, Cambodia, George H. W. Bush).
