How have the Chinese fared in America? What motivated them to come here in the nineteenth century? How were they received by native Americans? These are some of the questions that Henry Tsai deals with in this important new book. He treats the nineteenth-century immigration experience; the development of early Chinese communities; American exclusion and the difficulties of living in the shadow of exclusion; and the Chinese community in the post-World War II era and today. Also covered are Chinese women in conemporary American society; the problems with children and youth in a multiracial society; and international issues such as the relationships between the U.S.; China; and Taiwan; and the implications of these issues for the Chinese in America. The work provides a solid statistical analysis in a way that will be accessible to students and scholars as well as general readers.

The Other Side of the HillBy Jim WoodThe Other Side.Good account from the Cinese command side of the decision to intervene and the errors and misjudgments that led to destruction of the army. Yet the political goals of Mao and the party were fulfilled in many aspects. Excellent situationing of the war in the early Cold War based upon Chinese sources and hundreds of interviews with survivors.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Korean War; Korean War 1951 Spring battles; May Massacre; Chinese Spring Offensive;By Jerri GarofaloThis is one of the most amazing books! It provides another accounting using a variety of views and supporting evidences to share what really happened during the Spring of 1951; in the hills near the No Name Line and 38th parallel of Korea. This period of the Korean War has remained pretty elusive; leaving even those who fought there and still living still trying to understand what happened there. I base my review on the fact that this is area of the Korean War is a special area of research for me. Between my large collection of Korean War books; Official US military records; and numerous interviews with US military veterans who were there; I can honestly place this exceptional; well documented book; written by a reputable historian at the top of my list. I highly recommend it!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good Book from the other side of the Front Line.By Michael B.I was hoping for more of a company and regiment description from the soldiers in the PLA in the Korea War but found only a scattering number through out the book. The discussion about the movements and battles of the Chinese Army Groups; Armies and Divisions is well discussed. The Chinese losses for some of the Chinese offenses are also very interesting and how the UN forces overcame their numerical superioty in numbers. Also the maps are small and could have been done better by making them cover the area of the offense battles (They were full Korea maps on half of the page with arrows showing the different army thrusts for that time). Overall I found it very interesting to find out what the other side was thinking at the time. Still don't understand why the Chinese believe they won the war. The losses they suffered during these offenses up to June 1951 were terrible.
