Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peking and the Overland Route: With Maps, Plans, and Illustrations Fortunately, beyond a mere fringe of the coast-line of this great grandsire of empires, no such efforts or changes have as yet taken place, and today the Chinese people are as simple and primitive in their habits and customs as they have been for ages past.

Book excerpt: What would one naturally wish to see first in Peking? This book, it is hoped, will tell you, not only what to "See First," but "What to See" worth the telling from A to Z. But, as it is about "Old Peking," it describes not only buildings that are to be seen to-day, but also those that have disappeared completely. -- Foreword.

Book excerpt: In The Tryst Betrayed, former Indian foreign secretary Jagat Singh Mehta looks back on an eventful career which began on the day after India’s independence. In his lucid and informative style, Mehta sheds light on Nehru’s prophetic assertion of ideological agnosticism (named ‘Non-Alignment’ in 1946) and its distortion by the accidental overlap of decolonization with the Cold War. Mehta argues that Nehru was naïve on China, wishful on the Soviet Union and prejudiced against America. The civil servants were hypnotized by what he refers to as the ‘Panditji knows best’ syndrome. He illustrates that Nehru’s bark was no doubt frightening but his bite not vicious.

Book excerpt: In Search of Old Peking is much more than a classic guide book: it is both a painstakingly constructed portrait of one of the world's great cities in the 1930's and a lament for the end of a unique era. L.C. Arlington was an American who had served in the Customs and Postal Administrations since his arrival in China in 1879; William Lewisohn, a British Army officer turned journalist. These unlikely but happy partners had seen Peking at the pinnacle of its glory. This book is the outcome of their determination to record the delights, both major and minor, of the city they had known. The descriptions of the buildings and monuments are set within the wider context of Chinese history and are entertainingly illuminated by anecdotes about northern Chinese life and customs. First published in 1935, this book was regarded as the standard guide to Peking. It remains astonishingly evocative today, for residents and visitors alike.
