A deep dive into the Dixie Mission. “Aficionados of American political and diplomatic history may be pleasantly surprised at the riches in this book.” —American Historical Review Conventional wisdom informs us that “only Nixon could go to China.” In fact, in 1944, nearly thirty years before his historic trip, the American military established the first liaison and intelligence-gathering mission with the Chinese Communists in Yenan. Commonly referred to as the Dixie Mission, the detached military unit sent to Yenan was responsible for transmitting weather information, assisting the Communists in their rescue of downed American flyers, and laying the groundwork for an eventual rapprochement between the Communists and Nationalists, the two sides struggling in the ongoing Chinese Civil War. Following extensive use of archival sources and numerous interviews with the men who traveled and served in Yenan, Carolle Carter argues that while Dixie fulfilled its assignment, the members steered the mission in different directions from its original, albeit loosely described, intent. As the months and years passed, the Dixie Mission increasingly emphasized intelligence gathering over evaluating their Communist hosts’ contribution to the war effort against Japan. Some American politicians in the 1950s portrayed the participants in the Dixie Mission as too sympathetic to the Chinese Communists. But during the 1970s many looked back at these individuals as wise but ignored oracles who could have prevented the “loss of China.” Carter strips away these simplistic portrayals to reveal a diverse and dedicated collection of soldiers, diplomats, and technicians who had ongoing contact with the Chinese Communists longer than any other group during World War II, but who were destined to be a largely unused resource during the Cold War.

Story of the wartime mission to the Chinese Communists in their headquarters, made in 1944 by OSS, but suppressed and never shown. Shot by OSS operatives behind enemy lines in wartime China, this story of the visit to Chinese Communist headquarters was edited by John Ford, but deemed too politically sensitive to be released. Documentary on the OSS visit to communist headquarters in Japanese-occupied China during World War II that shows Communist activities in fascinating detail. Features Mao Tze-Dung, Cho En-lai, among other Chinese leaders. This is a unique historical document. This documentary was suppressed by the OSS, and released only decades later, in conjunction with President Nixon's break- through visit to China.

"The United States Army Observer Group, code name The Dixie Mission, was sent on a secret mission approved by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and under command of General Joseph Stilwell in the China-Burma-India Theater of War. The first group which included John Colling, arrived in Yenan on 22 July 1944. The Dixie Mission's objectives were to establish liaison with the Chinese Communists; to save downed B-29 crews who were bombing Tokyo and Manchuria from bases in Chengdu; and to determine the effectiveness of the Communists as a fighting force to help in a U.S. invasion of Shandong peninsula, China. This book is a compilation of personal files and photographs from the Dixie Mission. It has been put together by John Colling as a record of the wartime friendship that subsequently developed. This friendship may have provided a better base for U.S.-China relations than the then current support of Chiang Kai-shek."--Publisher's description.
