A book on the American Military Mission to China (1941-1942) (AMMISCA) is long overdue, therefore, even its belated publication is good news for scholarship. The AMMISCA’s story deserves telling for two obvious reasons: first, it was America’s very first tangible military involvement in China’s conflict with Japan, and second, it was the precursor to America’s oft-repeated experiment of giving official military aid to foreign countries in the post-World War II era, especially in non-Western regions. |
