Marshall Mission Ends in Disillusionment in China
The piece reviews General George C. Marshall’s 1945 46 bid to forge a coalition between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, its brief hopes and quick collapse, and how the ensuing civil war led to Mao’s victory on the mainland while the U.S. withdrew. It notes Truman, Hurley, Chou En-lai, and the broader Cold War aftermath.
