		Owen Lattiore, who served from 1938 to 1941 as director of the Walter Himes Page School of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University, was a noted Asian scholar whose expertise was put to use by the United States government during World War II and the subsequent reconstruction of Asia.
		In late 1942 Lattimore became the deputy director of the overseas branch of the United States government and was in charge of the Pacific operations with the Office of War Information.
		All of the good that Lattimore did for American education and foreign policy was forgotten when he was accused by Sen. Joseph McCarthy in 1950 of being the top Soviet espionage agent operating in the United States.

	Joseph Hansen: On the Politics of Outer Mongolia (Winter 1956)
		The essential facts underlined by Lattimore are the survival into the twentieth century of medieval conditions and a medieval psychology in Asia, the breakdown of these conditions and psychology and the rise of revolutionary nationalism at a grass-roots level.
		To paraphrase Lattimore, the study of Stalinism is not “exotic.” By putting Stalinism aside – which we can do if we know what it is – we are also able to put aside a considerable amount of distortion and thus reach a much clearer comprehension of the facts as they really are.
		Lattimore’s interest in feudal mentality as an ingredient in politics should attract him to a study of the origin of Stalinism.

		However, Lattimore was grounded by his experiences as a China scholar and became a preeminent Mongol specialist during the course of his life, which spanned most of the twentieth century, and is reflective of a series of intellectual journeys that offers a valuable world history case study.
		Lattimore's travel diaries are attuned to nuances of behavior amongst Chinese and later Mongol caravan life, during his travels in the 1920s and 1930s, as well as his observations of stops along the way and other interactions he had in the frontier zones linking northern china to Central Eurasia.
		Lattimore was not purporting to be a world historian, nor was he conscious of himself as taking a world historical approach in the sense of being a world historian.

	Johns Hopkins Magazine -- September 2000
		Owen Lattimore took the junior senator from Wisconsin to task, using his self-defense as a podium to lecture McCarthy and America on Asian history and politics.
		Lattimore's written statement--his refutation of charges, his reassertion that he was not a communist, and his insistence that he had little influence on U.S. politics because few leaders did what he suggested--was also rife with sarcastic asides.
		Lattimore the scholar was fading from the spotlight.

	Owen Lattimore Papers (Library of Congress)
		Lattimore's extensive travels in Asia provided the basis for many of his writings, which together with the related correspondence with publishers, form another strong element of the collection.
		Of particular importance, however, is the considerable correspondence between Lattimore and Lauchlin Bernard Currie of the State Department concerning the war against Japan and the problems of American assistance to the Chinese war effort.
		There is evidence that late in his life Lattimore, with the assistance of his lawyers and Robert P. Newman, sought to obtain through the Freedom of Information Act copies of government records documenting his tenure in Chungking, to supplement and complete his personal papers.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Reviving Owen Lattimore's Slander by Stephen Schwartz
		If Owen Lattimore is remembered today, it is as an adversary of Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, the spy-hunting Republican from Wisconsin who became an eponym for demagogy during the struggle against Soviet Communism.
		In the Lattimore universe, for instance, Alfred Kohlberg, a prominent American supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, was single-handedly responsible for discrediting the Institute of Pacific Relations, an influential “think tank” (before that term was used) that had supported the Chinese Communists.
		Kristol rejected the claim that Lattimore was a spy in the pure sense and criticized McCarthy for rhetorical excess.

	United States vs. Lattimore- 1954
		Owen Lattimore was indicted October 7, 1954, on two counts of perjury allegedly committed before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee on or about February 27, 1952.
		Under Count I, perjury is charged to the statement by Lattimore that he was not a follower of the Communist line.
		The second count charges that Lattimore perjured himself when he testified he had never been a "promoter of Communist interest." This entire perjury indictment arises out of, and is essentially founded upon, the statements, correspondence, and editorial comments of defendant.

	Lattimore... Travel Blogging Software: Who Is Owen Lattimore?
		In 1926, Owen Lattimore, and his wife Eleanor, began an unfathomably perilous trip through China, Mongolia, and Central Asia which would be the beginning of a career heralded as one of the twentieth century's most amazing scholar-adventurers, and ultimately, the world's preeminent Sinologist and Mongolist.
		Owen Lattimore's genius was captured in the three written volumes that came from this trip, his 'The Desert Road to Turkestan (Kodansha Globe)', 'High Tartary', and his wife's book, 'Turkestan Reunion.' No other travel literature, from any age, so viscerally captures the essence and experience of an unknown land as Lattimore's does.
		Lattimore wrote the book with warm, often funny, readable prose, not as 120 different atomic fact bins for each day of the journey.

		Joseph McCarthy was not yet a household name in 1950 when Owen Lattimore was labeled by the senator from Wisconsin as the top Russian espionage agent in the country.
		Judged at the time to be a masterpiece of factual exposition [and] a social document of first-rate importance, * this absorbing narrative chronicles how the ordeal threw Lattimores life into perilous straits, and how he defended himself, while undermining the credibility of his accusers.
		In a battle for his very liberty, Lattimore prepared for the equivalent of an alley fight with the brawling senator.

		Lattimore (1900-1989), the distinguished Orientalist who was ultimately cleared of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's charge that he was Russia's top espionage agent in the U.S., wrote a much-discussed book about his persecution, Ordeal By Slander (1950).
		In Lattimore's decidedly minority view, the Generalissimo was "a great man who did great things," especially his role as rallying point in the war against the Japanese.
		Compiled by Fujiko Isono from interviews, the memoir contributes to a deeper understanding of Chiang's complex relationship with the Communists during the period of the United Front, before the final phase of the Chinese civil war began.

		Lattimore, by this one act, designed to accomplish the Soviet objective of promoting war between the United States and Japan — did more to promote the Sovietization of Chinathan in any other act of his career.

		Because he was a China expert at the height of the Cold War, an acquaintance of Sinologist Owen Lattimore and because of his affiliation with the Institute of Pacific Relations, Biggerstaff was falsely branded as a Communist sympathizer in the 1950s.

		Lattimore's son was a Cornell student, and Biggerstaff would invite the father to his home for tea when he visited Ithaca.
