Description

General Joseph Stilwell provides an informal update of the China-Burma-India theater for the American people. In one wartime message from Burma, Stilwell recites the many nationalities of the Allied forces, noting that “the American contingent is as yet unfortunately small, but being American, you know it’s good.” The specific dates of Stilwell’s messages from Burma are unknown, but Stilwell’s diary for January 14, 1944, reports in part, “Breakfast with U.S. radio crew—oat-meal, coffee, bacon, pears.” This recording also includes a segment in which his wife defends Stilwell's reputation.
