商品簡介
Although Australia began the process of normalizing relations with China in 1971, the process was actually begun by a visit from Gough Whitlam, just a parliament member at the time. This book oscillates between entertaining details, such as the nicknames given to the Chinese hosts by the Whitlam party, to reportage on bigger issues, such as the visit to China of Henry Kissinger. Griffiths (history, U. of Sydney) has done careful research in putting together the details of this trip, relying on both newspaper articles and national archives, along with some unpublished primary sources.
