{"product_id":"john-robottom-china-in-revolution-9780070533400","title":"China in Revolution.","description":"In simpler form this has the content \u0026amp; many of the concepts of Goldston's Rise of Red China \u0026amp; Scott's The Hungry Dragon. 3 major sections--Sun Yat-sen, Mao \u0026amp; Chiang, Communist China--represent 3 stages, the 1st two personalized (i.e. circumscribed Old China as seen in Sun's boyhood). Chapter heads \u0026amp; subheads comprise a continuous outline. Maps \u0026amp; photos are usefully disposed. For all its appearance of a text, this isn't a skeletal treatment. A clear causative chain is established, most notably in regard to Communist aims \u0026amp; tactics \u0026amp; strategic retreats from the 1st cell thru the Kiangsi-Hunan Soviet, the Long March (\"also an agitation corps\"--Mao), consolidation in the Red Border Region \u0026amp; infiltration of Japanese-held areas--while the idle Kuomintang weakened internally \u0026amp; with the people. Thus, given the stubborn obtuseness of Chiang \u0026amp; his failure to better the peasants' lot, Communist victory became inevitable. What it's meant, in terms of self-respect \u0026amp; repression, is dealt with fairly in the long concluding section. Also included, \u0026amp; also assessed a propos of Sun's 3 Principles of nationalism, socialism, democracy, is a brief but thoro resume of China's foreign relations. To the extent that 20th century China can be reduced to 150 pages less pictures, this is a good job. Considering that many youngsters want just that, it should be good to have around.--Kirkus (edited) \"The history of modern China is a story of unceasing revolution \u0026amp; of the three men who led the revolutions. Sun Yat-sen, who rose from a poverty-stricken village boyhood to organize the republican revolt that would topple the Manchu dynasty from the throne of China; Chiang Kai-shek, successor of Sun Yat-sen; \u0026amp; Mao Tse-tung, who survived the Long March to become the master of postwar China.\"-- A Narrow EscapeSun Life in 19th century ChinaA rebellious youth China \u0026amp; the West The end of the ManchusYuan Shi-kai \u0026amp; the warlordsThe rise of the Kuomintang Mao Tse-tung \u0026amp; Chiang Kai-shekMao Tse-tung The Kuomintang defeats the warlords \u0026amp; the CommunistsThe Communists begin again Manchuria The long march China in the 1930sSian The war against JapanCommunist victory Communist Making China CommunistIndustry \u0026amp; agriculture The government of Communist ChinaChina \u0026amp; the world 1Formosa \u0026amp; IndochinaChina \u0026amp; the world 2Life in the new ChinaFurther ReadingIndex","brand":"McGraw-Hill Book Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53874933596502,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/john-robottom-china-in-revolution-9780070533400","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
