From the introduction: "In Korea, in 1950, the first payment in American lives was demanded for the blunders of our policy makers in the Far East. Five years after the total defeat of Japan and Germany a third world war looms on the horizon. How did it come to pass that after so great a victory American security is today in greater jeopardy than at any time since the founding of the Republic? How and why were the fruits of victory thrown away?" Critical of our handling of the recent situation in China and also a sort of answer to Owen Lattimore's 'Ordeal by Slander. ' Ms. Utley (1898-1978) was one of the key witnesses against Lattimore in the Tydings Committee investigation (1950) of Senator Joseph McCarthy's charges of communist influence in the U. S. State Department. . more information

From the back cover: In an attempt to provide the basis for a conclusive assessment of Chinese behavior in international affairs, this study presents for the first time a systematic analysis not just of the theory but also of the practice of Chinese support for revolutions with respect to all of the countries of the third world. The Maoist ideology of the national liberation struggle is treated in the first part of the book. Subsequent chapters deal with Chinese endorsement of revolutions, relations with revolutionary movements, and selection of countries as targets of revolution. The empirical analysis focuses on the period 1965-1967, beginning before the appearance of China's traumatic Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and continuing through its high point in the summer of 1967. Various interpretations of the motivation behind Chinese support for foreign revolutions are examined against the facts of China's relations with the countries of the third world, and the relations of those countries with China and with the other major world powers. . more information

Middlesex: Penguin Books,. Very Good. 1977. Soft Cover. 0140061134 . Xx, 331 pages, map, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the back cover: On October 16, 1934, more than 100,000 Chinese Communist men and women set out on the Long March - a year-long, 6,000 mile journey across China. Pursued by feudal warlords and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces by day, marching by the light of glimmering reed torches at night, the marchers covered an average of 27 miles a day, and fought more battles than they could count. Noted journalist and China-watcher Dick Wilson recounts here the enthralling story of this epic journey: the historical background behind the decision to undertake the venture, the pattern of daily life, the strategy that determined when and where to march, the emergence of Mao Tse-tung as the marchers' unquestioned leader, and the consequences for China that reverberated around the life." . more information

From the dust jacket: "On 4 June 1986, after many months of patient negotiations with China's Ministry of Defence, John Robert Young set out for Peking, the first Western photojournalist to be invited to record day-to-day life within the People's Liberation Army for the purpose of producing a book. The Dragon's Teeth is the result of this extraordinary visit. ~ Published to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the PLA, The Dragon's Teeth is the inside story behind life in the Chinese armed forces. The book contains over 200 original colour photographs and line-drawings. There are also some 25 duotones taken from Chinese military archives, most of which have never previously been published in the West, including pictures of the Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1949 and of Mao Tse-tung as a young revolutionary. The specialist military information about the internal structure of the PLA and information about the range of weapons and equipment now available give indications of the growing Chinese military capability that will surprise many readers in the West. But, above all, The Dragon's Teeth is a unique commentary on the many faces of the People's Liberation Army." . more information

Long accepted as fact by historians and in some cases still accepted as such. Mannix penned this extraordinary work apparently while serving time in a Honolulu jail for, appropriately enough, forgery. He used material gathered from books borrowed from a public library.
