Anna Chennault, born Chan Sheng Mai,[1]陳香梅 (pinyin Chen Xiangmei; actual birth year 1923,[1] but reported as June 23, 1925 – March 30, 2018), also known as Anna Chan Chennault or Anna Chen Chennault, was a war correspondent and prominent Republican member of the U.S. China Lobby.[2] She was married to American World War II aviator General Claire Chennault.
Controversy surrounds Anna Chennault for the crucial role she may have played on behalf of Richard Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign in seeking to delay the Vietnam War peace negotiations, in order to boost Nixon's chances for victory.
