Father S Gold Secret

The impact of American gift of gold to China was truly monumental. It is also remarkable that details of the American gift of gold in its movement and its role in the Chinese Civil War described in this book were not forever lost to history, because many of them only exist within the pages of the Author's Father's diaries and in the memories of a handful of people with personal knowledge of the events. A loss of this historical record would rob the Chinese people of a significant component of their cultural heritage, and obfuscate the actions and true intent of the Chinese political factions and the United States in the creation of what would become the People's Republic of China and Taiwan (Republic of China), one nation with two separate governments. Considering the time we live in today, these events are of astounding historical relevance.

All of the historical facts about the U.S. gold aid that was given to China. How American Gold in China changed history in 1949 and is still having an impact on our lives today. You will gain a much better understanding of the Sino-American relationship and today’s world after reading this book.

Joseph Mitchell was a legendary New Yorker writer and the author of the national bestseller Up in the Old Hotel, in which these two pieces appeared. What Joseph Mitchell wrote about, principally, was New York. In Joe Gould, Mitchell found the perfect subject. And Joe Gould's Secret has become a legendary piece of New York history. Joe Gould may have been the quintessential Greenwich Village bohemian. In 1916, he left behind patrician roots for a scrappy, hand-to-mouth existence: he wore ragtag clothes, slept in Bowery flophouses, and mooched food, drinks, and money off of friends and strangers. Thus he was able to devote his energies to writing "An Oral History of Our Time," which Gould said would constitute "the informal history of the shirt-sleeved multitude." But when Joe Gould died in 1957, the manuscript could not be found. Where had he hidden it? This is Joe Gould's Secret. "[Mitchell is] one of our finest journalists."--Dawn Powell, The Washington Post "What people say is history--Joe Gould was right about that--and history, when recorded by Mitchell, is literature."--The New Criterion
