As early as 1941, Hu Shih warned of the fundamental ideological conflict between dictatorial totalitarianism and democratic systems, a view that later became the foundation of the Cold War narrative. In the 1950s, after Mao's authoritarian regime was established, Hu Shih started to analyze the development and nature of Communism, delivering a series of lectures and addresses to reveal what he called Stalin's "grand strategy" for facilitating the International Communist Movement. For decades--and today to a certain extent--Hu Shih's political writings were considered sensitive and even dangerous. As a strident critic of the Chinese Communist Party's oligarchical practices, he was targeted by the CCP in a concerted national campaign to smear his reputation, cast aspersions on his writings, and generally destroy any possible influence he might have in China. This volume brings together a collection of Hu Shih's most important, mostly unpublished, English-language speeches, interviews, and commentaries on international politics, China-U.S. relations, and the International Communist Movement. Taken together, these works provide an insider's perspective on Sino-American relations and the development of the International Communist Movement over the course of the 20th century. 410 0$aChina understandings today. 517 3 $aHu Shih's political writings 606 $aCommunism and international relations$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCommunism$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aDemocracy$zChina$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aChina$xRelations$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aEssays.$2lcgft 608 $aInterviews.$2lcgft 608 $aSpeeches.$2lcgft 615 0$aCommunism and international relations$xHistory 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 676 $a335.430951 700 $aChou$b Chih-Ping$01263112 701 $aLin$b Carlos$01263113 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597156503321 996 $aPower of Freedom$92959311 997 $aUNINA
