The civil war in China that ended in the 1949 victory of Mao Zedongs Communist forces was a major blow to US interests in the Far East and led to heated recriminations about how China was lost. Despite their significance, there have been few studies in English of the wars major campaigns. The LiaoShen Campaign was the final act in the struggle for control of Chinas northeast. After the Soviet defeat of Japan in Manchuria, Communist Chinese and then Nationalist troops moved into this strategically important area. Chinas largest industrial base and a major source of coal, Manchuria had extensive railways and key ports (both still under Soviet control). When American mediation over control of Manchuria failed, fullscale civil war broke out. By spring of 1946, Chiang Kaisheks Nationalist armies had occupied most of the southern, economically developed part of Manchuria, pushing Communist forces north of the Songhua (Sungari) River. But over the next two years, the tide would turn. The Communists isolated the Nationalist armies and mounted a major campaign aimed at destroying the Kuomintang forces. This is the story of that campaign and its outcome, which were to have such farreaching consequences.
