About this book
Paul S. Reinsch served as American Minister to China from 1913 to 1919, and this book is his account of those years, printed in 1922. It moves from the dictator-president, Yuan Shih-kai, through his attempt to become emperor and his fall, in the opening two parts.
The book also covers Japan in Shantung, the Twenty-One Demands, China's break with Germany, the Lansing-Ishii Notes, and the peace talks in Paris. Chapters on American business in Peking, the Open Door and a diary of quiet days in autumn 1916 add the view of a diplomat living in the capital. Reinsch was also a political scientist who wrote on colonial government and world politics.
