 China Crosses the Yalu
Allen Whiting’s China Crosses the Yalu is the result of Cold War cooperation between academics and the United States government to “understand the enemy.”  A former member of the social science division at the RAND Corporation, Whiting wrote the book at the behest of the U.S. Air Force.
One of Whiting’s main hypotheses is that Chinese leaders were extremely reluctant to enter the Korean War.
  Considering the anti-communist atmosphere that prevailed when Whiting wrote China Crosses the Yalu, his attempt to analyze the months leading up to October 1950 from the “rational” perspective of Chinese leaders is remarkably even-handed.
