Fascinating Analysis of Events Leading to Korean War

By J. on October 7, 2009

Format: Paperback

The China Story is chock full of facts and brilliant insights about the events that led the U.S. into the Korean War. Nothing gets past Ms. Utley, and she is able to present her evidence and insights in a clear, concise manner. She does not add anything unnecessary to fill pages, nor does she indulge in self-aggrandizing stylizing or show-off vocabulary. This book was written when the events were "current events" - yet the author is able to connect the dots in a way that is often not possible until years later.

U.S. policy and action in the Far East from about 1945 to 1950 are covered. Details from the White Paper on China and the Tydings Committee are included.

Utley sheds light on the truth of many events. For instance, she clearly lays out evidence that removes full blame often attributed to Chiang Kai-shek's National Government for China falling to the Communists, and places the shame on the U.S. doorstep. The author concludes "The record of America's China policy since 1945 shatters the myth that China was lost to the Communists simply because of the shortcomings of the National Government. Examination of the figures of "military aid" to China leads to the conclusion that it was lack of ammunition, as well as too much American interference to the benefit of the Communists, which gave the victory to Stalin." Utley tells how the U.S. hindered the Chinese Nationalist Government attempts to cope with Communist aggression - and did the same to S. Korea, denying them effective military aid (even though it had been voted by Congress).Read more ›

The truth is all here.

By V-ROD on August 25, 2010

Format: Hardcover

This is a brilliant expose by Mrs. Utley on the truth of what happened to China post WWII. I was always under the impression that the Soviet Union double-crossed us leading to war in Korea. Not entirely wrong, but that isn't the whole story. In fact, we tried to appease Russia at almost every turn in hopes of avoiding conflict. But instead appeasement brought war. Secretary of State Dean Acheson makes public comments stating Korea and Formosa(Taiwan) are not in our defensive perimeter. Did he actually think Russia would not take note of his comment which practically invited attack. With communists infiltrating our gov't, and appeasers in the State Dept. it was a recipe for disaster. George Marshall relays American policy to Chiang Kai-Shek. And what is the policy? Bring the communists into your gov't to create a coalition gov't or else American financial and military aid will be suspended. That is actually what occured.

Here we have intelligent men making horrible or stupid decisions regarding foreign policy. We have known communists in the State Dept.; who when the heat is on, resign, only to be found later, working for the United Nations or other gov't agencies. We have widespread appeasement as policy which most definitely favors our foe. Has this all occured by chance, a roll of the dice.

Sen. McCarthy exposed this for what it was. A group of people,whether knowingly or ignorantly, bent on destroying this nation. Why? Because we were and still are the only nation left to hinder the New World Order. America holds the key to the future. The China Story isn't ancient history. It is a guide for our future endeavors. In the words of Douglas MacArthur...there is no substitute for victory! If we fail all freedom and liberty will be lost. Not only in this nation, but for the whole world.

Ms Utley agrees with the diplomats

By Bob Stoner on November 19, 2013

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Ms. Utley presents a story of the Chiang Kai-shek-Mao Tse-tung conflict that blames the outcome on several important facts. Chiang had a weak army because of leadership problems including incompetence and corruption. He and his circle of leaders helped destroy any hope of economic justice in a population subjected to onerous taxes and land ownership restrictions. The communists had the support of the people and the enthusiasm of a determined army. In spit of her presentation of these facts she tries to pin the blame for the outcome on an almost mystical power of communism over peoples minds. And of course she blames, in the usual McCarthy era fantasy, the diplomats and military personnel who relayed the message to Washington that a corrupt Chiang regime lacking the support of the population could not win.
