History of China
In 1980, Twitchett came to teach at Princeton and the two men worked closely together for the next eight years, co-editing volumes 7 and 8 of "The Cambridge History of China". Curiously, both men had been part of Intelligence agencies during World War II. In addition to his work as an editor, Professor Mote wrote 23 different chapters in the books of the series. Near the end of his life he published the massive book "Imperial China 900-1800" (1999) which sums up (and in a few cases updates) Volumes 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 of "The Cambridge History of China" series.
