About this ebook:
A harsh critique of Chinese society and culture, Ways That Are Dark was written at a time when China was in the grip of considerable civil strife. Townsend claimed that the source of China's problems lay in fundamental defects in the ethnic characteristics of the Chinese people. Although the book was a bestseller in the United States, it met with highly polarized reactions from its supporters and detractors. Though praised by some periodicals, it was denounced by missionaries and sinologists, including Owen Lattimore who condemned it as "a general indictment of a whole race". --- from WikipediaRalph M. Townsend was a career officer in the U.S. Foreign Service, serving terms of duty as U.S. Vice Counsel at Montreal and Shanghai, as well as at the Department of State in Washington. He resigned from the diplomatic corp in 1933 and accepted positions in public relations in New York and later in San Francisco. Active in efforts to prevent U.S. involvement in what ultimately became known as World War II, Townsend wrote for numerous anti-war publications including Scribner's Commentary, a leading non-interventionist journal. Although Ways That Are Dark (first published in 1933) was his first book, Townsend was also the author of several other studies of U.S. foreign policy... In his final volume he wrote: "A nation's real welfare improves only in peacetime. Hence, it is as much an obligation of patriotism to try to preserve peace, and prevent the necessity of defense arising, as to meet that necessity if it should arise." --- excerpt from book's back cover
