520 "The principle narrator of In War and Famine is the
author's father, a young missionary doctor who, in a hair-
raising journey, smuggled his family behind Japanese
battlelines the year before Pearl Harbor. Erleen
Christensen also tells the story of the many other
missionaries who sought to relieve the suffering of
innocents caught in the crossfire of war and revolution -
brave women who marched orphans through enemy lines,
missionaries turned OSS intelligence officers, a Canadian
Anglican cleric, a Swiss trainer of seeing-eye dogs, and a
diplomat who traveled the province by bicycle." "Using
letters, diaries, and personal accounts, many still in
private hands, Christensen provides an eye-witness account
of how a religiously diverse group of Westerners tried to
distribute famine relief and conduct humanitarian and
educational missions in the face of rising nationalism,
autonomy, and resistance to foreign intervention. In War
and Famine is a devastating portrait of the terrible cost
of war to civilians in China during World War II."--
