Description

Scott Osterman was at the end of his spiritual rope when he rescued Martha Shoop from a rioting mob in the streets of Shanghai. She, too, was drifting, trying desperately to cling to principles and ideals that were fatally undermined by the disintegration of the world around her under the onslaught of the Communist forces.

Their own shattered lives were reintegrated as Scott and Martha determined to shake off the immorality of their past and preserve what is decent in human life. Together they knew they had to act. Together they plunged into the turmoil. Their resolution led them to the thick of battle and into crises in which only their devotion to each other was the cause of freedom that sustained them. This inspiring, dramatic story of love and war is a tribute to the grandeur of the human spirit.

This story is a major publishing event, wherein through a tender and effecting love story, a theme of great consequence is unrolled for the American people-perhaps not too late to save us in the generally unrecognized war which shakes our world. The setting is the China civil war, which placed one fifth of the world's population in the Communist camp. The China War was the prototype of Cuba, the Congo, Laos, the first and greatest of the civil conflicts, the revolutions, the bush wars, through which the Reds have been conquering the world. This sets Last Plane to Shanghai apart from the many romance novels.
