In China, conflict between Communists and Nationalists threatened to suck in the United States and escalate into revolution. Marshall's charge was to cross the Pacific, broker a peace, and prevent a Communist takeover, all while staving off World War III. At first, the results seemed miraculous. But as they started to come apart, Marshall was faced with a wrenching choice--one that would alter the course of the Cold War, define the US-China relationship, and spark one of the darkest-ever turns in American political life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe China Mission\u003c\/em\u003e offers a gripping, close-up view of the central figures of the time--from Marshall, Mao, and Chiang Kai-shek to Eisenhower, Truman, and MacArthur--as they stood face-to-face and struggled to make history, with consequences and lessons that echo today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Kurtz-Phelan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393356868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393356861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
