Series IV: Writings and Master files, 1939-1997

Writings and Master Files contains news dispatches, essays, opinion pieces, journal articles, books, and other works written by Barnett from his undergraduate days at Yale and reporting for the Chicago Daily News through retirement. He wrote the introduction to the once ubiquitous red paperback, Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, published in 1967.


Subseries IV.1: "Past Publications,", 1939-1995

"Past Publications" (Barnett's words) contains news clippings and teletype reports filed by Barnett from China beginning in 1947 and chronicling the Communist siege of Peking. Also here is a carbon copy of a December 1948 letter written by Barnett and New York Herald Tribune reporter A.T. Steele to Mao Zedong requesting an interview with a list of questions about the Nanking Government, the Kuomintang Revolutionary Committee, and future Communist relations with the outside world. This subseries contains reports, some with maps, sent by Barnett from throughout Asia as an American Universities Field Staff correspondent for the Institute of Current World Affairs during the 1940s and 1950s. Also here are opinion pieces and interviews on Nixon's 1972 trip to China and later US China policy as well as correspondence, notes, drafts, and final versions of speeches and published articles. Handwritten speech and lecture notes from 1950 through 1997 discuss topics such as US-China relations, foreign policy decisions, political and economic trends in China, and problems of security and stability in Asia. Press references folders contain news clippings of interviews of Barnett and articles in which he is quoted or referenced. Of special note are press reactions to Barnett's testimony on US-China relations at 1966 Senate Foreign Relations Committee Hearings.
