⭐I first obtained this book as part of a four-volume set in about 1976. The four-volume set was a paperback set originally published in 1961 by the Foreign Languages Press in Peking, China. The entire four-volume set extends contains writings of Mao Tse-tung dating from 1926 until the successful conclusion of the Chinese Revolution in October of 1949. This particular volume contains writings of Mao Tse-tung from the period of time from May of 1941 until August of 1945. This is the period of time that coincides with United States involvement in the Second World War–a war that in Chinese history is known as the “War of Resistance Against Japan.” However, for the Chinese, this actually war extends from 1937 (when the Japanese first attacked the Chinese at the Marco Polo Bridge on July 7, 1937) until 1945.Originally, the Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung published in Chinese was compiled into a set of volumes in 1951. The Selected Works was translated into English and published in a four volume set by International Publishers in New York City in 1954. However, this four-volume set extended from 1926 only until the end of the War Against Japan in 1945. Within that set, all the articles contained in the present Volume III were actually published in Volume IV of the International Publishers edition. (Volume II in the International Publishers edition actually began with Mao’s book called “On Contradiction” which was written in 1937 and also contained the other articles written by Mao in 1937 and 1938. Volume III in the International Publishers four-volume set contained the articles written in 1938 until May of 1941.International Publishers was, however, subsidized by the Soviet Union. Thus, when the political split between the Soviet Union and China became part of world politics in 1956 following Nikita Khrushchev’s reformist attack on Stalin and the cult of the personality at the 20th Communist Party Congress, International Publishers ceased publication of this four-volume set of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung. Thus, China began publication of their own English translation of the four-volume set of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung in 1961. However, this new four-volume set contained writings from 1926 until 1949. In actual fact, Volume II of the new set was the result of a combining of Volume II and Volume III of the International set into the same volume and moving “On Contradiction” to Volume I.The articles contained in the current Volume III reveal the struggle that Mao and the Chinese Communist Party had in trying to maintain a United Front coalition with the nationalist Kuomintang (KMT) in the fight against the Japanese invaders. The Communist party basically occupied the northern part of China and the KMT occupied the southern part of China. Both United States ambassador Patrick Hurley and U.S. army general Joseph Stillwell noted while the Communists were actively fighting the Japanese in the north, the KMT retreated and surrendered territory in the south every time the Japanese advanced toward them. Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the KMT, wanted to preserve his army in the fight against the Japanese. However, he was not afraid to repeatedly used his army to attack, his earnst-well ally–the Communist Armed forces. The United States supplied the KMT with a great deal of military supplies for nationalist army in the hopes that he would attack the Japanese. However to the frustration of General Stillwell and the Roosevelt administration, Chiang attacked the Chinese Communists in September of 1939, again in March 11, 1940, again in October of 1943 and yet again in 1945. Every time the Communists attacked the Japanese they won support from ever wider areas of China. Every time Chiang refused to fight the Japanese and instead pursued a line of attack against Communist, Chiang became less and less popular with the Chinese public. Consequently, when in the post-war era and especially after the October Revolution of 1949, politicians in the United States used to ask “Who lost China?” the answer clearly is that Chiang Kai-shek “lost” China.The four-volume set of books that I obtained in 1976, which is mentioned above, is in the paperback format. I have always preferred hardbound books in my library because they last longer. Thanks to Amazon.com, I have been able to upgrade many books in my library to the hardbound format–even these out-of-print books which I have had a hard time finding until the advent of Amazon.com. I recently obtained a copy of this book which is complete with its dust cover and, like only a few older books, has the original ribbon page marker which I love.

⭐This is the third volume of the Selected Works of Mao tse-Tung. This volume contains the some of the articles written by the leader of the Chinese Revolution from March of 1941 through August of 1945. In Chinese history this period of time is called the second period of the “War of Resistance Against Japan.” This period coincides with the entry of the Soviet Union’s entry in the Second World War against Germany and Italy, but more importantly for the Chinese, coincides with the entry of the United States (following the attack on Pearl Harbor) into the Second World War against Japan, as well as Germany and Italy.Although this is generally known in the United States as the totality of the Second World War, this period of time is called only the second period of the war, because the Chinese look back to the invasion of China proper by the Japanese on July 7, 1937 as the start of the Second World War. (In actual fact they could look back to the Japanese invasion and occupation of Manchuria [or northeast China] in August of 1931 as the real beginning of the Second World War.)Among the most popular and important of the articles in this third volume is the article called “On Coalition Government” (April of 1945). This article reflects on the difficulty of the Communist Party’s attempt to work together with the Nationalist Kuomingtang to form a United Front against the Japanese. Many American advisers were also aware of this same difficulty. In this difficulty lies the answer to the question from the 1950s–“Who lost China? That answer is the lack of cooperation on the part of the Kuomingtang.
