Book Launch: China Hand: An Autobiography
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) hosted a book event for “China Hand: An Autobiography”, published posthumously by John Paton Davies, Jr.
On Sunday, February 26, 2012, the Washington Post wrote:
“Davies had a hand in creating the ‘containment’ response to the Soviet Union in the Cold War and predicting the fate of China after the communist revolution. But because…the notorious Sen. Joseph McCarthy was waving papers with what he said were the names of dozens of communist sympathizers in the State Department, Davies was called in for nine different hearings over six years.”
This event included a panel discussion of this fascinating memoir moderated by:
