http://schema.org/description
- "Stilwell spent most of WWII as Chiang Kai-Shek's chief of staff in China. He was often at odds with the British generals Wavell, Slim, and Wingate, men with whom he was to cooperate in Burma. These arguments earned him the nickname of "Vinegar" Joe. This sympathetic but critical biography analyzes the passions of an American patriot infuriated by Chiang's dishonesty and chicanery and looks at the possible outcome if Stilwell's views had prevailed. Stilwell and George Marshall had planned to have ninety Chinese divisions armed by the United States. Had they succeeded, in 1945 they would have been strong enough to defeat the Communists and would have changed the course of Chinese, if not world, history."
