A Secret War

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"For its sharp focus of Chiang's regime and its insights into U.S. policy and the effects on Chinese history, the book has broad and unmistakable value."-The Kirkus Reviews

"In a readable and informal style this former OSS agent recounts with interest-ing details his frustrating experience in China during World War II... As one knowledgeable with the Chinese way of life... Caldwell provides Sinologists and China watchers of all degrees of ex-pertise with intimate details of why Chiang Kai-shek lost the loyalty and sup-port of his people... Illuminating sketches are given of such figures as 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell, 'Wild Bill' Dono-van, John Birch, John Service, and Gen-eral Tai Li."-History
