Europe-or Asia? This was the crux of the great debate on American foreign policy precipitated by General MacArthur's return to the United States in April 1951. MacArthur raised the issue: should we sacrifice the European coalition and go it alone in the Far East? In The United States and the Far East, 1945-1951, Harold M. Vinacke tells how this country became involved in the affairs of postwar Asia. He describes, too, the dilemma of American policy-makers in that area. Abroad, our Administration was suspected of seeking to overthrow the Communist regime in China and restore the Nationalist regime; at home, the Administration was charged with seeking to overthrow the Nationalists and deal with the Communists. In this careful, balanced account Dr. Vinacke tells how the containment policy has been developed and applied in China, Japan, southeast Asia, India, and Korea. He shows the difficulties of fostering independence and economic betterment in Asian countries without courting the charge of imperialism. He explains how Japan, rather than China, has become an anchor of our defense system, and discusses the risks of bringing into play the Sino-Russian alliance by attacking the Chinese Communists from bases in Japan. This book was originally prepared as a data paper for the Eleventh International Conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations, held in India in October, 1950. It has since been revised and a chapter has been added carrying the story through the summer of 1951 and discussing the issues raised by Communist China's intervention in the Korean war. Neither a defense of the Administration's record nor an attack upon it, Dr. Vinacke's book is at once a concise account and a penetrating analysis of the main events and issues in our recent Far Eastern policy. It is published to help thoughtful citizens appraise grave issues which confront this country in its position of world leadership. At the time of publication in 1951, Harold M. Vinacke, was Professor of Political Science at the University of Cincinnati, and one of America's leading authorities on the Far East and its relations with the United States. He taught at Nankai University, Tientsin, and during World War II he was a specialist on Japan for the Office of War Information. He is the author of A History of the Far East in Modern Times and other books. This is a reproduction copy from a scanned original edition.
