Description: THE STILWELL PAPERS by General Joseph W. Stilwell edited by Theodore H. White 1948, First Edition - First Printing, William Sloane Associates, New York, 357 pages. From the Dust Jacket, “The men called him ‘Uncle Joe,’ ‘Vinegar Joe,’ and several other things from time to time, and the great majority of them worshiped him. The Chinese armies General Stilwell trained and led would have gone through hell for him. The politicians of Chungking hated his guts….This volume fills in the blank pages of a whole chapter in our recent history. It is made up from three sources: General Stilwell’s private field diaries, the ‘black notebook’ in which he sometimes wrote his innermost thoughts and reflections and excerpts from his numerous and long letters to Mrs. Stilwell. Brilliantly edited and arranged by Theodore White, who knew him well in the C.B.I. theater, these papers make a continuous, clear, and detailed narrative of the events of almost three years, beginning with the disgraceful confusion of the days immediately after Pearl Harbor and concluding with the General’s return to Washington.” Enhanced with 36 photographs on glossy paper plus two maps and endpapers which are map of south-east Asia..
