China before the Communists took over, 24 June 2001
7/10
Author: Todd Honig from Hollywood, California

This is a well-edited account of a time in US history when the Chinese were our military allies.The "maps and diagrams" by the War Dept.,along with some tight editing,make this essential viewing for all students of history.
