Richard Bernstein: China 1945

In January 1945, America was on surprisingly congenial terms with Mao Tse-tung and his Communist rebels.

But by year’s end Communist diplomacy had all but frozen, and America was resigned to unqualified support for China’s Allied leader, General Chiang Kai-Shek, despite growing certainty that Mao was China’s heir apparent. What happened? Richard Bernstein challenges familiar assumptions and considers whether things could have turned out differently.
