Baton Rouge, LA: Louisiana State University Press, 2010. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xv, [3], 435, [1] pages. A Note on Chinese Language Romanization. Maps. Illustrations. Bibliography. Index. In the years following World War II, the United States suffered its most severe military and diplomatic reverses in Asia while Mao Zedong laid the foundation for the emergence of China as a major economic and military world power. As a correspondent for the International News Service, the Associated Press, and later for the New York Times, Seymour Topping documented on the ground the tumultuous events during the Chinese Civil War, the French Indochina War, and the American retreat from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Topping chronicles his extraordinary experiences covering the East-West struggle in Asia and Eastern Europe from 1946 into the 1980s, taking us beyond conventional historical accounts to provide a fresh, first-hand perspective on American triumphs and defeats during the Cold War era. At the close of World War II, Topping reported for the International News Service from Beijing and Mao's Yenan stronghold before joining the Associated Press in Nanking, Chiang Kai-shek's capital. He covered the Chinese Civil War for the next three years, often interviewing Nationalist and Communist commanders in combat zones. Topping was captured by Communist guerrillas and tramped for days over battlefields to reach the People's Liberation Army. The sole correspondent on the battlefield during the decisive Battle of the Huai-Hai, Topping scored a world-wide exclusive as the first journalist to report the fall of the capital. More

Richard William Tregaskis (November 28, 1916 – August 15, 1973) was an American journalist and author whose best-known work is Guadalcanal Diary (1943), an account of just the first several weeks (in August - September 1942) of the U.S. Marine Corps invasion of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Tregaskis served as a war correspondent during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. After the U.S. entered WWII, Tregaskis volunteered as a combat correspondent representing the International News Service. (In fact, Tregaskis was one of only two journalists on location at Guadalcanal.) Tregaskis' most renowned book, Guadalcanal Diary, recorded his experiences with the Marines on Guadalcanal. During the Vietnam War, Tregaskis reported on the growing conflict for a decade and accompanied U.S. Marines in command of local ARVN troops. More

New York: Crown Publishers, 2006. First American Edition [stated], First printing [stated]. Hardcover. x, [6], 320, Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations. Map. Footnotes. Selected Reading. Foreword by Walter Cronkite. George Anthony Weller (July 13, 1907 – December 19, 2002) was an American novelist, playwright, and journalist for The New York Times and Chicago Daily News. He won a 1943 Pulitzer Prize as a Daily News war correspondent. After the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, he violated the press blackout imposed on reporters, and explored the devastation caused by the bombing. He also was the first to enter the nearby Allied prisoner of war camps. Weller's reports from Nagasaki after its August 1945 nuclear bombing were censored by the U.S. military and not published in full until a book edited by his son in 2006. In 1946, Weller covered the 1946 Greek war against partisan guerrillas. For many years he covered the Balkans, Mideast and Africa from Rome, where he headed the Daily News bureau until retiring from the newspaper in 1975. More
