Chiang Kaishek's Last Ambassador to Moscow The Wartime Diaries of Fu Bingchang

This fascinating study examines wartime Chinese-Soviet relations from a Moscow-based, Chinese perspective at the ambassadorial level. The book includes descriptions of everyday life in Moscow, of embassy business, of contemporary events and diplomacy, of intelligence operations, of meetings with Stalin, and of communications to and from Chongqing.

YEE WAH FOO is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Lincoln. She is Fu Bingchangs granddaughter, and this is her first book.
