China Hands: Nine Decades of Adventure, Espionage, and Diplomacy in Asia
By James R. Lilley and Jeffrey Lilley
PublicAffairs, May 2004

Review excerpt:

China Hands is an adventure story worthy of John le Carré but without his moral ambiguity. James Lilley always understood what he was fighting for and why it was worth it. The U.S. remains the pre-eminent power in Asia. China is not free yet, but it is freer.

Melanie Kirkpatrick is associate editor of the Wall Street Journal's editorial page.
