Index. No dust jacket present. Cover has some wear and soiling. Theodore Harold White (May 6, 1915 May 15, 1986) was an American political journalist and historian, known for his reporting from China during World War II and the Making of the President series. White started his career reporting for Time magazine from wartime China in the 1940s. He was the first foreigner to report on the Chinese famine of 194243 and helped to draw international attention to the shortcomings of the Nationalist government. He reported on post-war Europe for popular magazines in the early 1950s, but lost these assignments because of his association with the "Loss of China". He regained national recognition with The Making of the President 1960, whose combination of interviews, on the ground reporting, and vivid writing were developed in best-selling accounts of the 1964, 1968, 1972, and 1980 presidential elections, and became a model for later journalists. Annalee Whitmore Fadiman (May 27, 1916 February 5, 2002) was a scriptwriter for MGM, and World War II foreign correspondent for Life and Time magazines. Under the name Annalee Jacoby she was the co-author with Theodore H. White of Thunder Out of China. She was the first woman to be managing editor of the Stanford Daily student newspaper. Fadiman survived a month-long escape from the Philippines, and did six weeks of reporting from the front lines of Bataan and Corregidor. She became the only female correspondent reporting from Chongqing, China's wartime capital. From the first outbreak of hostilities in northern China in 1937 to the Japanese surrender aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in 1945, this book re-creates the decade of upheaval when China was caught in the grip of revolution and war and torn from its feudal past. The authors Time-Life correspondents during the war years, report firsthand on the rise and fall of the Kuomintang nationalist government and its leader, Chiang Kaishek, who ironically misunderstood his own people as much as the Japanese. At the same time, we see how the Communists won popular support both with more extensive social reforms and with their unrelenting war against Japan. White and Jacoby also shed new light on the actions of "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (the only American who assessed the Chinese situation accurately) and the diplomacy of Ambassador Patrick J. Hurley, also providing a classic account of the Chinese peasant and his revolution which has since proved to be the recurrent pattern of events in the developing Third World.
