Stitch, "After Sun's death there were irrevocable splits between the left (CCP) and the centrist and right factions of the revolution. That Roosevelt and specifically Henry Luce Booth were so enamored with Chiang, and thus so taken in by him, is a lesson the U.S. did not learn well." One important reason that the U.S. didn't learn any lessons from Sun's death and didn't appreciate the power and the amazing audacity (if it can be called that) of Soong family is that the McCarthy era helped to expunge most Asian scholars of any repute from the halls of academia and the government. They were alleged to have been "communists", and were disregarded. This also resulted, in part, in our complicity in partitioning Vietnam, and the later miserable war. There was a book on the Soong family back in the 80s, I think. Do you recall the name of it? I remember reading fascinating excerpts, but don't recall the name or author. Would make a good read. sam
