- Summary:
- "This book examines the post WWII relationship between the US and China, particularly focusing on the quick development from World War 2 allies to the rise of McCarthyism in the early 1950s. Stephen J. Hartnett's argues that the key turning point in the relationship between the two countries rests with the resignation of Patrick Hurley, US ambassador to China, in November 1947. The Lost Chance in China and the Rise of Cold War Populism offers a new take on the developments following the end of World War and America's position in the conflict between China and Taiwan through a rhetorical lens. Analyzing rhetorical patterns from the mid-twentieth century to today, Hartnett unearths how they continue to block the path toward mutual understanding between the two nations "-- Provided by publisher.
