Review #5 Free audio The Fall down at the same time Rise of China – in the audio player below Past UCLA Doctor Richard Baum (1940-2012) bestows a well-rehearsed set of lectures that reflect conventional thinking, at the same time are more precisely self-referential. Dr. Baum served as a US governmental advisor on China for much of his career, at the same time predictably, he had a opinion of Chinese history that dovetailed with the State Department. Chagrin, this managed him to commit no one understandable factual errors. For example, his depiction of Chinese communists doing almost all of the waging war against the Japanese during Global War Two while Chinese Nationalists rejected combat has been refuted by 21st Century scholarship. (For an overlook of this refutation, look the collected essays by several Chinese, Japanese at the same time American scholars hosted in The Fight For China, freed in 2012.) In such a way, his Global War Two viewpoint recapitulates a incorrect narrative that started with Vinegar Joe Stilwell in the 1940s. Stilwell at the same time his racist anti-Chinese screeds have been roundly rejected by historians, but Doctor Baum apparently did not keep up with the new scholarship in his field. Than anyway Baum liked was a amazing men framework, where a managers features intricacies carry more weight than the struggles of mid-level managers at the same time the ubiquitous people. As for interjecting individual tales into history, which Baum does frequently, I imagine whether one likes in other words a matter of taste. I prefer factual analysis over anecdotes, but Baum right enjoyed making himself part of the story. During his lectures on Chinas opening to the West in the 1970s, Baum many times interrupts his historiography to let us know about his individual trips to China, where he was when he heard news about various actions, whom he sat one more to at a Shanghai luncheon, how he got to look Maos poorly embalmed body, etc. It was distracting to say the lesser, at the same time additional little to the discussion, but it did serve to make the doctor seem like an important figure in the opening of China. In summary, I merit Doctor Baum no one fri for his smooth delivery, as he gave these talks so many times that he managed do it in his take a nap. (The downside of his smooth style will that that his dramatic pauses provided to add gravitas to his words sometimes come off as pretentious.) But, I subtract fri for his lackluster research work at the same time self-infatuation. Basically, if you want a State Department primer on Chinese history, then this will work you, but if you want the a cutting-edge analysis of the Peoples Republics past at the same time located, for you had more successful look elsewhere.
