Sandra Myers
Moshe ‘Two Gun’ Cohen: The Chinese General

Tuesday 11.03.2025

Summary

Bodyguard to Sun Yat-sen, the president of China, friend of Chiang Kai-shek, Morris aka Moshe Cohen (1887-1970) was a scoundrel, a card sharp, and a nobody whose name would never have been remembered in the annals of history but for one act. Without his contacts, the possibility of statehood for Israel, would never have happened.
