Joseph McCarthy accused Owen Lattimore, a distinguished China scholar at Johns Hopkins University, of being 'the top Soviet espionage agent in the U.S.' The Senate Foreign Relations Committee exonerated Lattimore four months later, but for the next two years Pat McCarran and his Senate Internal Committee hounded him In this magisterial biography, Robert Newman follows the career of Owen Lattimore, scholar-adventurer, through his journeys in Central Asia, his service in both the Chinese Nationalist and American governments in World War II, his tribulations as Joe McCarthy's flagship heretic and McCarran's alleged Communist mastermind, his brilliant academic career in England, and finally his return to Central Asia as the foremost advocate of Mongolian nationalism and independence." "This exhaustively well-researched, lucidly written, and fascinating book on Owen Lattimore and the anti-Communist witch hunts in the late forties and early fifties chronicles a double American tragedy. Not only does it recount how careers of good and brilliant men were blindly destroyed, but how America was deprived of its most thoughtful and clear-headed China specialists." - Orville Schell.
