Drawing on underutilized or misinterpreted data from both Chinese- and English-language sources, this talk will suggest conclusions that challenge the conventional wisdom on Sino-American Relations during WW II, including such major events during the alliance as Stilwell's assignment to China, his role in the First Burma Campaign, the diplomatic crises of 1942, and the showdown over his quest for command power.
