'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell, the general who was the American commander in the China-Burma-India theatre of World War II, had a deep love of China. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns of August, Barbara Tuchman, combines a fascinating narrative of America's relationship with China from the fall of the Manchu Dynasty through to the rise of Mao Tse-Tung with an intimate biography of Vinegar Joe. Stilwell loved China deeply, spoke its languages and understood its people as few Westerners have. Tuchman traces his life from his first visit during the 1911 Revolution through the Second World War to his confrontation with Chiang Kai-shek. Entwined with his fortunes is the story of American and British foreign policy in the Far East.

If you are a mathematics teacher you should read this book. (Still love her though)

@juancamachosd on Twitter . Beahm also lists many [other] great books and websites for further explanations/studies on the subject of all things Narnian.

It hasn't influenced my opinion on fantasy I just don't care for that genre but "Passport" is definitely an entertaining look into that world and what it takes to create it.

Tim Kirk's illustrations are wonderful, and George Beahm's impeccable "fact collecting" skills make this book a MUST HAVE for all Narnia fans!. Most of the dying people were young, smart, and/or extremely articulate.

I would have appreciated an account that included the not-so-pretty experiences of death--the ambiguous, ambivalent, hard, messy parts.
Including those pieces would have made the book more helpful.

The interventions of the authors were somehow just too neat and tidy.. Perh
