{"product_id":"books-the-china-mission-by-daniel-kurtz-phelan","title":"The China Mission","description":"At the end of World War II, General George Marshall took on what he thought was a final mission—this time not to win a war, but to stop one. 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.\n\n\nThe 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.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53770131865873,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780393356861.jpg?v=1783956358","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-china-mission-by-daniel-kurtz-phelan","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
