Writing in 1950 with an introduction by General Albert Wedemeyer, Mary Knight asks whether China was lost through incompetence or treachery. She visits Yenan, profiles the Communist leaders, traces their ideological forebears and propaganda, and argues that Manchuria and Formosa were handed away by Washington’s misjudgements.
A partisan Cold War polemic, valuable as a record of how the ‘loss of China’ was argued at the time. Download the free EPUB.
