Abstract "This is a ground-breaking new interpretation of the collapse of Nationalist China, an event which fundamentally changed the course of twentieth-century history. Using newly available archival sources, Parks Coble reveals why, despite the financial backing of the US, Chiang Kai-shek's government lost the civil war against the communists in 1949"-- Provided by publisher.
