OWEN LATTIMORE
5x7 image of the American Asia scholar known for his heated
confrontations with Senator Joseph McCarthy
Photograph inscribed and signed: "Marshall Bean/With best
wishes/Owen Lattimore". B/w, 5x7. Owen Lattimore (1900-1989), an
Asian scholar specializing in Mongolia and China's inner Asian frontier,
was editor of the scholarly journal Pacific Affairs and later a
professor at Johns Hopkins. During World War II, he served as an advisor to
Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek on behalf of the US State Department. In 1950,
Lattimore was attacked for alleged communist sympathies and complicity in the
"loss of China." Senator Joseph McCarthy called him "the top Russian
espionage agent in the United States." After a heated 12-day confrontation in
McCarthy's Internal Security Subcommittee, Lattimore was accused of perjury,
although the Committee could produce little credible evidence to support
McCarthy's charges. (The charges were dismissed in court, and Lattimore defended
his reputation in his book Ordeal by Slander. In 1963, Lattimore moved to
England, teaching until his 1975 retirement at the University of Leeds. Corners
creased. Fine condition.
