Everyone associated with Yale-China's institutions in Changsha, Wuhan, on the road in wartime China, Hong Kong, and back in China, as well with the home office in New Haven, will find this book of interest. But so will historians and others who can appreciate the book's effective and lively evocation of real people, both Americans and Chinese, facing and solving real problems and building a shared legacy in the process. -- Suzanne Wilson Barnett, The China Review
