Seller's Description:
Good. xix, [1], 507, [1] pages. Includes Preface and Acknowledgments, Foreword, Introduction to the New Edition by David N. Rowe. Epilogue by the author. Part One: Destroying the Balance of Power in the Pacific; Part Two: Undermining an Ally; Part Three: Coup de Grace; Part Four: Post Mortem. Bibliography. Index. Dr. Anthony Kubek was a nationally prominent authority on American foreign policy, especially US policy in Asia. After a year as a scholarship student at Geneva College, he served during World War II in the US Navy in the Pacific theater and the Far East. He earned three degrees from Georgetown University: B.A. in Foreign Service (1948), M.A. (1950), and Ph.D. in American Diplomatic History (1956). During his academic career, he served as the Academic Dean of Frisco College, in Frisco, Texas, and as a professor at the University of Dallas, where he was chairman of the Department of History and Political Science. He was widely known as a lecturer and a consultant on American foreign policy. He was active in the American Historical Association. His published writings included The Amerasian Papers, a two-volume study issued by the US Senate Committee on the Judiciary, How the Far East was Lost: American Policy and the Creation of Communist China, 1941-1949 (published in 1963 and 1972), The Red China Papers (1975), Ronald Reagan and Free China (2002), as well as a monograph, Communism at Pearl Harbor: How the Communists Helped to Bring on Pearl Harbor and Open Up Asia to Communization. Derived from a Kirkus review: Subtitled "American Policy and the Creation of Communist China, 1941-1949" Dr. Kubek states: "The Far Eastern policy pursued during the Roosevelt-Truman administrations has long been the subject of spirited controversy among historians". One may be sure that controversy will leap into flame again with the appearance of this book, for it is the most solidly researched, as well as one of the most scathing, statements of "how we won the war and lost the peace". Beginning with a detailed account of how we "forced" Japan, "the only power--other than U.S. -China alliance--that was able to check the flow of the Red Tide", into attacking us at Pearl Harbor, the author proceeds to unroll the conspiracy theory of Teheran and Yalta, with FDR cast as the unconscious villain, surrounded by dupes and Communist agents. The plot thickens with the activities of Owen Lattimore, Harry Dexter White and Generals Marshall and Stilwell. "The way we treated the Government of China (Chiang's)...is the sorriest chapter in the history of America's relations with other countries...The utter consistency of our policy in serving Soviet ends leaves no conclusion other than that pro-Communist elements in our government and press 'planned it that way. '" Historians who see it otherwise will have their work cut out for them, refuting all the "damning detail" in Dr. Kubek's charges.
