No problem, friend… I can’t do it right now, but I will later tonight if that’s OK

Reading this book I believe is essential to understanding how communist China came to be, and thus, has significant bearing on world events today.

The book is not without controversy, obviously, because many Americans even back in the early 50s when this was written, viewed General George Catlett Marshall as a sacred cow who could not be attacked… But like the MAGA advocates today, that didn’t slow down Senator McCarthy.

People may say he took things out of context, he exaggerated, or he was just plain wrong, but he goes to great care of the document, his sources, and where he got his information from.

Just skim the chapters and listen to any that interest you. It is super easy.
