Summary:
"Argues that the Chinese Nationalist's retreat inland during the Sino-Japanese War, its consequent need to develop inland resources, and its participation in new scientific and technical relationships with the United States led to fundamental changes in how the Nationalists engaged with science and technology as tools to promote development. It also shows how the Nationalists worked these programs to their advantage and that U.S. industrial advisers were strongly motivated by postwar goals"-- [Provided by publisher]
