註釋As Financial Adviser to China, Arthur N. Young had an intimate insight as an on-the-spot observer of events during the critical 18 years leading to the fall of the Nationalists & the Communist takeover. Along with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Dr. Young worked closely with the highest-ranking officials of the National Government in carrying out monetary & fiscal reforms prior to World War II, & stayed through the war to aid with problems of war finance, including procurement of American aid. As the Pacific Rim gains increasing international prominence, Cycle of Cathay will prove to be of particular importance to students, scholars, business & political leaders with an interest in Asian affairs. His overland journey across the remote & fabled Burma Road in 1941 remains one of the classic adventures in modern times.
