"The story he tells so admirably here is why a deal that looked great on paper fared poorly in practice. The telling of that story allows him to trace the ebb and flow of U.S. — China relations in the 80's. He has the veteran journalist's fine eye for detail and fine ear for anecdote. He has given us a superbly reported, crisply written work. And his timing couldn't be better." — The New York Times Book Review
"I am about to judge the year's best business books.... Their authors succeeded in enlightening and engaging me. If you think the Soviet bloc's upheavals will create instant riches for Western investors, BEIJING JEEP will sober you up." — Robert J. Samuelson, Newsweek
