Kinzley is a historian of modern Chinese history at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the author of Natural Resources and the New Frontier.'In Uneasy Allies, a group of brilliant and exciting early career scholars demonstrates that US-China relations during the Second World War and the early Cold War were forged less by high level politicians than by an improvised web of relations forged by entrepreneurial scientists, engineers, businesspersons, soldiers, and chancers from both China and the USA. This is work of the first order.' Hans van de Ven, University of Cambridge and Peking University
'This timely volume reorients the study of state-to-state relations to people-to-people ties. It offers multiple accounts of extensive non-governmental engagement notable for the private will to connect. An important contribution that fuses diplomatic history and trans-Pacific studies.' Wen-hsin Yeh, University of California, Berkeley
