未了中国缘：一部自传（甲骨文系列）
(us) John Patton Davis
In the 1950s, McCarthyism began to spread in the United States. John Patton Davis was fired from the State Department. During World War II, he became one of the first Americans to interact with the young Chinese revolutionary Mao Zedong. He also described the excesses and political weaknesses of the Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek. The career diplomat reminded the U. S. Government that the Chinese Communist Party would gain dominance-and it proved to be the case. Through the book "Unfinished China", Davis shows us the era in which he lived with his wisdom. He was both an actor and an observer of that era.
