Current Research

The visitor is currently engaged in a research
project on the nature of revolution, concentrating
on the Taiping Rebellion, the Chinese
Communist Revolution and several modern
revolutionary movements in Latin America. He
has also written several books.

Mr. Mancall began his speech by logically
developing the basis for Western fear of China.
He then pointed out failures in present
American strategy and suggested possible
improvements: The exchange of students,
journalists and others who can provide an
exchange of knowledge, the admission of
Communist China to the United Nations, and
eventually possibly establishing direct diplomatic
relations between our countries.
