A dense but rather repetitive study of Chinese Communist foreign relations and internal policy conflicts by the author of a major ""standard"" work, Communist China in World Politics (1966). The prefatory discussion of the legacy of China's past includes a fine summary of twentieth-century political history. Much of the rest of the book reads rather like a compilation of high-level intelligence reports. Hinton emphasizes China's difficulties with the activist, ""irreconcilably anti-Chinese"" Khrushchev, whom it initially preferred over Malenkov. In dealing with domestic developments, Hinton is usually sound as far as he goes--e.g. when analyzing the Hundred Flowers period in relation to Mao's intra-party jockeying, or the 1969 reduction in the role of the provincial military; but the basic issue of bureaucratic shakeup in both campaigns lies outside his scope.
