Contributions and reception
Chen's first major book was China's Road to the Korean War, which received much praise and was widely cited.
Lucian Pye, writing in Foreign Affairs said Mao's China and the Cold War has "taken some giant steps toward advancing the West's understanding of Mao Zedong's policies during the Cold War." Pye praised Chen for correcting the view of Mao and Zhou Enlai as "relaxed and worldly wise" pragmatists, a view put forward by Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger to justify the opening to China. In fact, Chen argues, "Mao was driven by ideology and insatiable ambition as he led the communists to power and sought Stalin's blessing for his leadership." Allen Whiting's review of it in Political Science Quarterly called Chen's work a "superb study."
