Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Poor. 1st Edition. Condition of Hardback Book: Very Good Condition of Dustjacket: Fair Story of Australian who spent most of his life in China, and who became a close friend of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Gen. Chiang Kai-shek. Alively, personal biography of a modern mystery man, Wi…lliam Henry Donald of Melbourne, Australia, who came to be a moving force in China, first with his association with the Manchu period, later with his work for Dr. Sun, the Young Marshal, and the Chiangs, a man whose incorruptibility was honored, whose place in Japanese black books was permanent. Four decades of belief in the country he knew intimately, as correspondent, as adviser to its leaders, four decades of fighting for the things he felt should be part of China, gave him a special know-how of Chinese politics, rulers, and rights that the people themselves should have. This is his story- dictated to the biographer, as Donald was dying, after the war, in Hawaii, a story told in vivid terms. Much is in disagreement with other books on China; much will be new in Donald's relationships with Manchu viceroys, with newspapers of the early days, with the trends of revolt against the moral rot of previous rules, with the anticipation of troubles ahead. But it will be for the picture of the man himself- an adventurer only in his dedication to a crusade-China and her place in the world. Of more than usual biographical interest, for the many readers who are familiar with his name in the records of those years, as put down by almost everyone writing of China. 375pp.

First edition (Australia). William Henry Donald (1875 - 1946) was an Australian journalist who worked in China from 1903 until World War II. He had considerable direct and indirect influence on events in China during that period. He befriended Charlie Soong, the wealthy publisher and father of the Soong sisters, and had known "t…he present Mesdames Kung, Sun and Chiang were small children." He became a friend and advisor to Sun Yat-Sen and to Generalissimo and Mme. Chiang Kai-shek. The Japanese invaders in China dubbed Donald "the evil spirit of China" for his role in advising the Chinese government in their efforts against the invasion. They had offered growing rewards for his capture, dead or alive. Once they had almost got him, when Zero fighters attacked his plane over China but his pilot escaped into a cloud bank. In February 1945, it turned out that they had held him for more than three years, without knowing it was him, in one of the Manila prison camps. Donald had been a prisoner since February 1942, when the Japanese arrested him at Manila when he was on his way back to China from New Zealand via the Philippines. During his captivity, he had used a false name. After a brief visit to New York City in 1945, Donald returned to Shanghai, where he died in 1946. He was farewelled in a state funeral by the government of the Republic of China. As he lay dying in 1946, Donald dictated his recollections to Earl Albert Selle, who produced this biography.The boards are a little stained at the very top however the book is in very good condition. The dustjacket is torn at the top with a piece missing as well as being chipped on the edges. There is an ex-libris bookplate on the first page .

In order to force the issue to establish a united front against the Japanese invasion, Young Marshall Zhang Xueliang kidnapped Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in the infamous Xi'an Incident.
