In The China Cloud, two Associated Press editors have put together an impressive research project dealing with the origins of China's nuclear know-how. It was the U.S. that gave China its start. Since the 1930s, a number of young Chinese science students had been arriving on U.S.-sponsored scholarships; many contributed to America's nuclear and missile technology. During the feverish Red hunts of the early 1950s, many of the scientists fled the U.S., while others were deported. Eighty returned to China—taking with them vast amounts of information—and were pressed into Mao Tse-tung's service. Ryan and Summerlin offer evidence that some would have stayed in America if given the chance.

The authors attempt to trace their subjects' activities back home, but, predictably, the book teeters for lack of authoritative information. It is clear enough, however, that the returning scientists did their job well.
