Product Description
"An ambitious--in fact, audacious--book. As far as I know, no one else has attempted such a wide-ranging analysis, and comparison, in depth of these two countries--which are not only the most populous countries in the world but among the most complex ones. I do not know anyone else today who would have either the temerity or the ability to make the kind of sophisticated, subtle, comparative analysis that Taylor does of these two great countries. If he had asked my opinion, before he started, on whether he should attempt to write such a book, I probably would have advised him not to attempt the impossible. But in my opinion he pulls it off successfully. In short, I think it is a real tour de force." A. Doak Barnett, Johns Hopkins University

For all of us who should know much more about the character and personality of the world's two most populous countries, China and India, The Dragon and the Wild Goose(China and India respectively)this brilliantly conducted tour about these complex societies is both illuminating and rewarding as Jay Taylor, a retired foreign service officer, is the perfect guide. I have recommended this very good book to a number of my well read friends and we all concur:It should be in every class room teaching what we should know about these huge, burgeoning countries going forward in the 21st century.
