Description
China's collapse is the story of Volume VII for 1948, told month by month. Early sections note a lull, Assembly votes, and student unrest. Manchuria then slips away, city by city, in embassy and consular cables.
Ambassador Stuart's advice and Washington's replies mark the policy debate. Tsinan, Changchun, and Mukden fall in the autumn run. Talks of Chiang's retirement close the year. Tibet, Sinkiang, and the stranded Dairen consulate fill side sections. The volume reads as a front-row record of a regime's last full year. Embassy move plans show how near the end seemed.
