| book description |

Following the success of General George C. Marshallâ€™s leadership of the American army during the Second World War, he was the obvious candidate for the international mission to broker a coalition government between Chinaâ€™s warring Nationalists and Communists. As a US â€œspecial representativeâ€ Marshall began enacting miraculous change and under his guiding hand, Chinaâ€™s political factions agreed to a ceasefire and settled on the principles of a democratic government. But then the agreements Marshall brokered fractured and civil war came to China. This fascinating history portrays the incredible beginnings and ultimate failure of Marshallâ€™s high-stakes mission. In spellbinding detail, The China Mission chronicles an unforgettable miss-step in American diplomacy that changed the course of global politics for ever more.
