Dr. Hu Shih (18911962) was one of Chinas top scholars and diplomats and served as the Republic of Chinas ambassador to the United States during World War II. As early as 1941, Hu Shih warned of the fundamental ideological conflict between dictatorial totalitarianism and democratic systems, a view that later became the foundation of the Cold War narrative. In the 1950s, after Maos authoritarian regime was established, Hu Shih started to analyze the development and nature of Communism, delivering a series of lectures and addresses to reveal what he called Stalins grand strategy for facilitating the International Communist Movement. For decadesand today to a certain extentHu Shihs political writings were considered sensitive and even dangerous. As a strident critic of the Chinese Communist Partys oligarchical practices, he was targeted by the CCP in a concerted national campaign to smear his reputation, cast aspersions on his writings, and generally destroy any possible influence he might have in China. This volume brings together a collection of Hu Shihs most important, mostly unpublished, English-language speeches, interviews, and commentaries on international politics, China-U.S. relations, and the International Communist Movement. Taken together, these works provide an insiders perspective on Sino-American relations and the development of the International Communist Movement over the course of the 20th century.
