Dr. Maurice William, a Russian immigrant and former socialist, wrote "The Social Interpretation of History," which he self-published in 1920. The book, a criticism of socialism and Marxism, was quoted by and reportedly heavily influenced Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary and political leader who was called the Father of Modern China.

In the 1930s, William was a dedicated organizer and fundraiser in support of China.

A profile of William in Harper's Magazine in December 1943 described him as "the dentist who changed world history."
