$22.11
1977 Hardcover Macmillan Company edition of Stilwell and the American Experience in China 1911-45 by Barbara W. Tuchman 621 pages with illustrations. From the dustjacket: The future of all Asia is at state along with the tremendous effort America has expended in that region...I know of no other man who has the ability, the force and the determination to offset the disaster that now threatens China." This is the message sent by President Roosevelt to Chiang Kai-Shek in July 1944, at the height of World War II, officially requesting the appointment of General Joseph W Stilwell as commander of all China's armed forces. Stilwell was a man who loved China deeply, spoke its language, knw its people as few Americans ever have, and who saw the country without the obscuring haze of myth of his countrymen at home. The narrative follows him from the time he first entered China during the Revolution of 1911, through his tours of duty in Peking and Tienstin in the 1920s and 30s, to his return as theatre commander for China-Burma-India in World War II.

Frequently Asked Questions
When I order a magazine are you sending me just the cover?
While we are aware that some sellers sell only the covers (for framing), we sell you the entire magazine.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we do. It depends the country's restrictions and the shipping availability to that county. Due to the current pandemic we are limiting our international shipping.
Where did you get your name?
On some mornings, if you get up early enough, from an open field you can see the fog listing up towards the local mountains. Just as the sun starts to creep in, the fog gives off this bluish purplish haze.
Are you open 24/7?
We are e-commerce only so we are open 24 hours 7 days a week. However, we only staff humans and they work a normal business day.
How do you select your month charity?
We try to select a local nonprofit that we feels helps others and gives back to our community. Or ones that do not get the donations that other big nonprofits receive.
Gift wrapping and packaging
While we do not gift-wrap an item, if you advise us it is a gift, we package the item as we normally do and then place it in a decorative polymailer. We also add your note to an all-occasion card and insert it. We do this free-of-charge.
Are you an American Company?
We are an American women-owned company located in the lovely Hudson Valley area of New York State. All shipments are from New York State.
Do you offer a discount?
We do offer a 10% discount. If your purchase does not include one of our discount codes, please contact us prior to paying and we will send you the code. The code cannot be used after you paid. Also every month we put a different book genre on sale.
Do you offer a guaranteed delivery date?
No, we do not. We can give you an estimated date. We ship via the US Postal System. Unfortunately, we do not have any control over your order once it leaves out hands. All orders include tracking. If your order takes longer than normal for delivery, we will investigate it.
I purchased "X" magazine subscription. How come I didn't get it?
Because you didn't order it from us. You need to contact the publishing company. If you need help locating them, we will try to help. We only sell single issue magazines.
