Distorted Mirrors: Americans and Their Relations with Russia and China in the Twentieth Century
Eugene P. Trani
"Distorted Mirrors: Americans and Their Relations with Russia and China in the Twentieth Century"

On April 1, 2010, Eugene P. Trani delivered a lecture on his book Distorted Mirrors: Americans and Their Relations with Russia and China in the Twentieth Century. During the last century, United States relations with Russia and China went through many tumultuous changes. In a new appraisal, Eugene Trani shows where American images of Russia and China originated, how they evolved, and how they have often helped sustain foreign policies that were generally negative toward Russia and more positive toward China. Trani's wide-ranging new book draws on memoirs, archives, and interviews to show how influential individuals shaped perceptions and policies based on what they saw or thought they saw in those two countries. Dr. Trani is president emeritus of Virginia Commonwealth University.
