His offense? The career diplomat had counseled the U.S. government during World War II that the Communist forces in China were poised to take over the country-which they did, in 1949. Davies joined the thousands of others who became the victims of a political maelstrom that engulfed the country and deprived the United States of the wisdom and guidance of an entire generation of East Asian diplomats and scholars. The son of American missionaries, Davies was born in China at the turn of the twentieth century. Educated in the United States, he joined the ranks of the newly formed Foreign Service in the 1930's and returned to China, where he would remain until nearly the end of World War II. During that time he became one of the first Americans to meet and talk with the young revolutionary known as Mao Zedong. He documented the personal excesses and political foibles of Chinese Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek. As a political aide to General Joseph "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell, the wartime commander of the Allied forces in East and South Asia, he traveled widely in the region, meeting with colonial India's Nehru and Gandhi to gauge whether their animosity to British rule would translate into support for Japan. Davies ended the war serving in Moscow with George F. Kennan, the architect of America's policy toward the Soviet Union. Kennan found in Davies a lifelong friend and colleague. Neither, however, was immune to the virulent anticommunism of the immediate postwar years. China Hand is the story of a man who captured with wry and judicious insight the times in which he lived, both as observer and as actor. 410 0$aHaney Foundation Series 606 $aDiplomats$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDiplomatic and consular service, American$zChina 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zChina 607 $aChina$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aChina$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aAutobiography. 610 $aBiography. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aDiplomats 615 0$aDiplomatic and consular service, American 676 $a327.2092 676 $aB 700 $aDavies$b John Paton$f1908-1999.$01576969 701 $aCumings$b Bruce$0527235 701 $aPurdum$b Todd S$01576970 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788251503321 996 $aChina Hand$93855132 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02724nam 22005053 450 001 9910158766703321 005 20230807220253.0 010 $a9781786253811 010 $a178625381X 035 $a(CKB)3810000000099260 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4808882 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4808882 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11355108 035 $a(OCoLC)975225526 035 $a(Perlego)3018200 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32247566 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32247566 035 $a(OCoLC)1530377206 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000099260 100 $a20210901d2015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aNaval Strategy During The American Civil War 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aSan Francisco :$cGolden Springs Publishing,$d2015. 210 4$dİ2015. 215 $a1 online resource (43 pages) 327 $aIntro -- TABLE OF CONTENTS -- PREFACE -- ABSTRACT -- CHAPTER 1-UNION NAVAL STRATEGY -- Union Naval Blockade -- Joint Army and Navy Operations in the East -- Naval Strategy in the Western Theater -- Conclusion -- CHAPTER 2-CONFEDERATE NAVAL STRATEGY -- Privateering -- Commerce Raiding -- Conclusion -- CHAPTER 3-NAVAL TECHNOLOGY -- Background -- Merrimac and Monitor -- Strategic Implications -- Mines and Submarine Warfare -- Conclusion -- BIBLIOGRAPHY. 330 8 $aThe objective of the research project is to examine how the Union and Confederate naval strategies and new naval technologies affected the conduct of the American Civil War. With regard to the Union Navy's strategy, the effectiveness of the blockade, Western River Campaign, and amphibious operations were examined. Discussions on the Union blockade also touch on the effectiveness on Confederate blockade runners. The Confederate strategies of using privateers and commerce raiders are examined. Confederate coastal and river defenses are examined within the context of new technology, specifically with respect to ironclad ships and the use of mines, torpedoes, and submarines.The paper shows how naval strategy did play a major role in the outcome of the Civil War. Although it cannot be said that naval strategies were singularly decisive, they certainly were vitally important and often overlooked in history books. 606 $aNaval strategy 606 $aBlockade 615 0$aNaval strategy. 615 0$aBlockade. 676 $a359.4 700 $aMurphy USAF$b Col.
