In China's Civilian Army, long-time China reporter Peter Martin combines a fast-paced history of the Chinese Communist Party's diplomatic corps with a deeply researched and revealing account of how China engages the world today through its diplomatic "civilian army." Drawing from over 100 memoirs by Chinese diplomats as well as years of interviews, he provides a rich portrait of how they operate-and how they are viewed by their counterparts in other nations. As China flexes its muscles across the globe, understanding the methods and motivations of Chinese diplomats will become essential for governments, business leaders, and scholars everywhere.
