She uses the life of Joseph Stilwell, the military attache to China in 1935-39 and commander of United States forces and allied chief of staff to Chiang Kai-shek in 1942-44, to explore the history of China from the revolution of 1911 to the turmoil of World War II, when China's Nationalist government faced attack from Japanese invaders and Communist insurgents. Her story is an account of both American relations with China and the experiences of one of our men on the ground. In the cantankerous but level-headed "Vinegar Joe," Tuchman found a subject who allowed her to perform, in the words of The National Review, "one of the historian's most envied magic acts: conjoining a fine biography of a man with a fascinating epic story." 632532 1971 Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45 total:145|5:54|4:57|3:26|2:8|1:0| 145 592 195 22 5 0 false false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 06:27:46 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 08:43:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Mar 21 15:00:53 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 21 15:11:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Wed Nov 28 09:11:26 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 10 18:54:58 -0700 2008
