Stilwell, one of the most complex and controversial figures of the Second World War. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman presents a sweeping account of China's wrenching transformation — from the collapse of the Qing Dynasty through the chaos of warlordism, the Japanese invasion, and the bitter Allied campaigns of World War II. With forensic precision and vivid prose, she illustrates how Stilwell's stubborn integrity and his clashes with Chiang Kai-shek illuminated the deep cultural and political fault lines between the United States and China. The result is both a definitive military biography and a cautionary portrait of American ambition and misunderstanding in Asia, as timely today as when it was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888001036507,"sku":"2026200009294-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4d40ed56-8408-43ca-b045-330041feccc1.png?v=1781752129","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009294-secondhand-stilwell-and-the-american-experience-in-china-1911-45","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
