Americans in China tells the dramatic stories of individual women and men who encountered the People’s Republic of China as adversaries and emissaries, mediators and advocates, interpreters and reporters, soldiers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and scholars.

In Americans in China, Terry Lautz provides a series of biographical portraits of Americans who have lived and worked in China from before the Communist era to the present. The pathbreaking experiences of these men and women provide unique insights and deeply human perspectives on issues that have shaped US engagement with the People’s Republic: politics, diplomacy, education, business, art, law, journalism, and human rights.

For each of these Americans, China was more than just another place: it was an idea, a cause, a revolution, a civilization. Some of them grew up in China while others were motivated by curiosity and adventure. Some believed Red China was an existential threat while others looked to the People’s Republic as a socialist utopia. Still others–including a number of Chinese Americans–worked to improve US-China relations for personal or professional reasons.
