Sally K. Burt examines President Franklin Roosevelt’s methods of conducting diplomacy, particularly his tendency to centralise foreign policy-making into his own hands, as it applied to wartime Sino-US relations. By critiquing the president’s foreign policy leadership with China, Burt provides a new perspective on US diplomacy and opens the door for further exploration of contemporary methods of conducting relations between the US and China. This book, then, will interest scholars, historians, international relations specialists and practitioners and those interested in global politics, both historical and in the present day.Studies in East Asian security and international relations ;Volume 3.World War, 1939-1945Diplomatic historyUnited StatesForeign relationsChinaChinaForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relations1933-1945Electronic books.World War, 1939-1945Diplomatic history.327.7305109/04Burt Sally1980-876201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460903803321At the president's pleasure1956701UNINA
