He died of a heart attack in 1966 at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, at age 53. In addition to his impressive bibliography, Linebarger had extensive ties to China, counting Sun Yat-Sen as his godfather, and Chiang Kai-Shek as a fairly close friend in adulthood. In 1948, he published the non-fiction work Psychological Warfare. He advised the U.S. military during the Korean War.
