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.The China Mission 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","brand":"Daniel Kurtz-Phelan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369689903386,"sku":"9780393356861","price":85.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2699\/9322\/files\/71vBdBQYKmL._SY522.jpg?v=1781775094","url":"https:\/\/medicampus.store\/products\/the-china-mission","provider":"medicampus.store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
