In 1966 Columbia University Press asked CMW and Ms. Julie Lien-ying How to prepare a reprint version of Documents on Communism, Nationalism, and Soviet Advisers in China, 1918-1927 Papers from the Peking Raid. (Columbia University Press, 1956), However, so much directly related scholarship had appeared since the original publication that the authors undertook a complete revision. This went on, mostly through correspondence, till 1982 when Ms. How (Mrs. William Hwa) passed away, and completion of the book fell to the senior author. The papers herein trace the development of the book, now entitled Missionaries of Revolution, beginning with a file of correspondence between the collaborators, dating from 1966 to 1980 correspondence with Columbia University Press, which finally declined to publish the work because of feared expense; efforts of CMW to raise funds for a final manuscript--fortunately provided by The American Council of Learned Societies; arrangements and correspondence with Anita M. O'Brien, the editor and word-processor of the extensive manuscript; efforts to find a publisher after Columbia backed out; relations with Harvard University Press, the ultimate publisher; permissions required to publish most of the plates; and other correspondence., 1966, 1918-1927, 1982, 1966, 1980 Box 85
