For another view on General Stilwell, read General Claire Lee Chennault's memoirs Way of a Fighter (New York: Putnam, 1949). Chennault, commander of the American Volunteer Group, American fliers who fought for China, which became the Fourteenth Air Force, was bitterly critical of Stilwell and blamed his policies for helping to bring about the Communist takeover of China.
