This book attempts to sketch some of the major wartime political developments in Free China, and to show their connection with the course of the war itself, and with the accompanying economic disorganization which it has brought. Lawrence Kaelter Rosinger (5 October 1915 - 14 September 1994) was an American specialist on modern East Asia, focusing on China and India. Rosinger was born in New York City and received his bachelor's degree in history from the City College of New York before completing a master's degree in Far Eastern Studies from Columbia University in 1936. He worked for the Foreign Policy Association, and this led to visiting lectureships at Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley during World War II. At the close of the war in 1946, Rosinger was sent to China as a representative and reporter for the Foreign Policy Association. He traveled extensively throughout China visiting areas controlled by both the Chinese Nationalists and Chinese Communists. His time in China convinced him that the Nationalist government, headed by Chiang Kai-shek, was moribund. Rosinger believed the Chinese Communist Party was supported by the vast majority of the Chinese people and that American attempts to subvert it would handicap American Asia policy by casting the United States as an imperial power in the mold of Great Britain and France. He urged the United States to support a unified, progressive China even if it came at the cost of short-term disruption in American access to Chinese markets and of American missionary interests there. He published numerous books and articles on Asia. His first two books, China's Crisis (1945) and China's Wartime Politics (1944), focused on the preconditions that caused a resumption of the Chinese Civil War after the failure of the Marshall Mission in 1947. Both books were praised by critics and earned Rosinger a position as research associate at the American Institute of Pacific Relations in 1948. After joining the IPR, Rosinger was a frequent contributor to both its scholarly journals Pacific Affairs and Far Eastern Survey. By the end of the 1940s, he had expanded his interests to India, and published two books Restless India (1946) and India and the United States (1950) about India's role in Asia and its impact on American foreign relations in decolonizing South Asia. "Restless India" was favorably reviewed by critics with John Bicknell of the New York Times calling it, "a useful little fact book" covering the politics of India after securing its independence from the United Kingdom. Excerpt from this work: The increasing public interest (sometimes anxious interest) on the part of the people in many parts of the Western world in the political and military developments in Free China is important for several reasons. On the one hand it shows a growing awareness of the vital role which the Chinese armies and Allied forces operating in China may play in the final defeat of Japan. On the other hand it evidences a belated and sometimes unbalanced knowledge of the fearful real burden which seven years of war, blockade and inflation have laid on the Chinese people and government. With that knowledge there is also some realization of the immense tasks which lie ahe.…
