Lester Knox Little kept a detailed journal of his time in China and
Taiwan. Covering the years 1943 to 1954 it provides important new
insights about some of the most dramatic episodes in China's
mid-twentieth century history: Sino-Japanese military and economic
competition, China's domestic political struggle between the
Nationalist Party (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Communist Party, and
the post-war/Cold War balance of power in Southeast and East Asia.
It also contains rich first-hand materials for understanding
conditions in Chongqing and post-war Shanghai, the last years of
the Republic of China on the Chinese mainland and its early years
in Taiwan, and a new inner history of his beloved Chinese Maritime
Customs Service. Little's account, with his insightful comments and
explicit descriptions, provides us with a continuous record from
the viewpoint of a capable American citizen in Chinese employ who
felt responsible for his Chinese and foreign colleagues and for the
modernisation of 'Free China', as well as allowing a unique insight
into the heart of government during a time of intense social and
political change. In addition to the original texts, this edition
includes extensive explanatory notes providing detailed contextual
information regarding the people and places mentioned.
