China, cont’d
Lecture by Prof. Harvey Goldberg on modern China. Covers the first phase of the Chinese Civil War (1927-37) and the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45), as well as American support for Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang against the Communists led by Mao Zedong.

NOTE: Reflecting Goldberg’s own pronunciation of Chinese terms and the texts he would have referenced in the 1970s, transcripts use Wade-Giles romanization rather than Pinyin throughout (e.g., Peking for Beijing, Mao Tse-tung for Mao Zedong, etc.).
