Stilwell And the American Experience in China 1911-45 - Softcover
This volume is really two books in one: the bestselling biography of Vinegar Joe Stilwell and what Edwin O. Reischauer, the former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, called "the most informative book the American public has ever had on the difficulties and failures of the American relationship with China." The reader will learn all about Stilwell, the man who saw more frontline combat than any four-star general in World War II; the truth about how we"lost" China; Feng Yu-hsiang, the Christian warlord who baptized his soldiers with a hose and taught them evangelical hymns; the story the world cannot forget - the Japanese invasion of China; and last but certainly not least, the final, explosive confrontation between Stilwell and Chiang Kai-shek -- and its momentous outcome, which still affects U.S. China policy today.
