Summary:

Why would one country impose economic sanctions against another in pursuit of foreign policy objectives? How effective is the use of such economic weapons? This book examines how and why the United States and its allies instituted economic sanctions against the People' s Republic of China in the 1950s, and how the embargo affected Chinese domestic policy and the Sino-Soviet alliance.
