Adrian A. Bennett, Journal of American History
"This book examines approximately a dozen case histories of American and American-trained Chinese individuals who attempted to bring change to China. Although the changes discussed focus on agriculture, the lessons are much broader. . . . The case histories document both America's penchant for emphasizing technology as the means for solving problems and the shortsightedness of such an emphasis."
