by Boas, George and Harvey Wheeler, eds
Baltimore, MD: Harvey Wheeler, 1953. Pamphlet. 61p., staplebound pamphlet, mild toning, otherwise very good. Defense of Owen Lattimore's scholarship, at a time of McCarthyite paranoia when he was being blamed for debacles in US policy in Asia and labeled a communist sympathizer. As the preface notes, the government could hardly blame him, as it had generally failed to take his advice. Contributors include such luminaries of Chinese studies as John King Fairbank, Knight Biggerstaff, Walter Fuchs, and many others. (Inventory #: 58900)
