Beyond Tiananmen: The Politics Of U.S.-China Relations 1989-2000 by Robert L. Suettinger (Nonresident Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies Program and an Affiliated Fellow of the Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution) is a superbly presented analytical survey and history of Sino-American relations since the suppressive massacre that took place when the People's Liberation Army of China obeyed its orders to retake Beijing's landmark Tiananmen square from student demonstrators "at any cost". Beyond Tiananmen deftly examines the often confused interrelation between our two nations that trade so much, yet so often seem so hostile to one another, and warning against the dangers should that antipathy continue unchecked by mutual understanding. Beyond Tiananmen is a timely, welcome, and very highly recommended contribution to International Studies in general and U.S.-China Relations during the final decade of the 20th Century in particular.
