Description

Book Synopsis
Traces the shadowy history of Chinese leftism and the role of the Kuomintang of China in influencing affairs in America. This title penetrates the overly politicized portrayals of a history shaped by global alliances and enmities and the hard intolerance of the Cold War era.

Trade Review

Received an honorable mention for the Book Award in History from the Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS), 2012.

"A remarkable collection that shows the dedication, diligence, and accomplishments of Him Mark Lai, an amateur historian who devoted himself to researching and writing the history of Chinese American communities. Lai's command of the sources and his commitment to a faithful recording of Chinese American history are extraordinary."--Renqiu Yu, author of To Save China, To Save Ourselves: The Chinese Hand Laundry Alliance of New York
