Chinese Attitudes Toward Nuclear Weapons: China and the United States During the Korean War is written by Mark A. Ryan and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1315492156 (ISBN 10) and 9781315492155 (ISBN 13).

This book examines the crucial formative period of Chinese attitudes toward nuclear weapons - the immediate post-Hiroshima/Nagasaki period and the Korean War. It provides a detailed account of U.S. actions and attitudes during this period and China's response, which was especially acute after both countries had entered the Korean conflict as enemies. This response dispels some of the myths that have long existed regarding China's perceptions of nuclear war.
