Executive Editor of Foreign Affairs Daniel Kurtz-Phelan will be speaking about his new book, The China Mission: George Marshall’s Unfinished War, 1945-1947, a story covering the tumultuous aftermath of World War II, frantic U.S. engagement with China, and what led to the moment America “lost” the Middle Kingdom. He will be in conversation with Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations Orville Schell.

This exploration of one of the most devastating moments in U.S.-China relations comes at an urgent moment. Policymakers, the business community, and others both in the United States and elsewhere worry about deteriorating American resolve to uphold the international world order it has championed since World War II. These changes are occurring just as a more assertive China seeks to sell its own brand of authoritarian rule to a largely leaderless world.

Copies of Daniel Kurtz-Phelan's book can be purchased online here.

Daniel Kurtz-Phelan is the executive editor of Foreign Affairs. He previously served in the U.S. State Department as a member of the secretary of state’s policy planning staff. His reportage and analysis have appeared in publications including The New York Times and The New Yorker.
