Publisher's Synopsis
""The Life of John Birch"" is a biographical account of the titular figure, an American missionary and intelligence officer who was killed during the early stages of the Cold War. Written by Robert H. W. Welch Jr., the book explores Birch's life from his childhood in Georgia to his time as a missionary in China and his eventual involvement in anti-communist activities in the United States. Birch's death in 1945, which was attributed to Chinese communists, led to the creation of the John Birch Society, a conservative political organization that played a significant role in American politics during the 1950s and 1960s. The book examines Birch's life and legacy in the context of the political and social climate of his time, offering insights into the anti-communist fervor that characterized the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
