Thunder Out of China

Thunder Out of China is a 1946 best-selling book by American journalists Theodore White and Annalee Jacoby. The authors were wartime correspondents for Time magazine during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945). It was a Book of the Month Club selection in 1946.

Orville Schell called the book's story a "great epic of misunderstanding" and recommended it as one of the five best books on China and the West, one that described Chiang Kai-shek, "the failure of his experiment, and the corruption and complete unravelling of China under the pressures of Japanese occupation and war." Other critics and historians say that White and Jacoby were biased by American General Joseph Stilwell and that the popularity of the book damaged Chiang's post-war reputation.
