The book explores the pivotal April 2001 crisis on Hainan Island, which shaped U.S.-China relations during George W. Bush's early presidency. It highlights the challenges faced by a transitioning Chinese leadership and a newly elected U.S. government amid foreign policy crises and terrorist threats. The resolution of the crisis is presented as a diplomatic success for the U.S., showcasing Washington's strategic approach in persuading Beijing that detaining the American air crew was counterproductive to China's own interests.
