A scholar of international relations and an academic by profession, his tenure as an American diplomat in China provided rich material for his seminal work, 'An American Diplomat in China.' This book is a significant contribution to the literature on American foreign policy and Chinese-Western diplomatic relations during a tumultuous period in China's history. It offers personal and reflective insights into the complexities of diplomacy and international affairs from the standpoint of an American observer embedded in the cultural and political milieu of China during the beginnings of the Republic era.
