Through the story of three generations of women in her own family - the grandmother given to the warlord as a concubine, the Communist mother, and the daughter herself - Jung Chang reveals the epic history of China's twentieth century. Breathtaking in its scope, unforgettable in its descriptions, this is a masterpiece that is extraordinary in every way. Loh, Pichon P.Y. - Kuomintang Debacle of 1949:From AI: The Kuomintang Debacle of 1949: Conquest or Collapse? by Pichon P.Y. Loh, published by D.C. Heath and Company in 1965, offers an in-depth analysis of the factors leading to the downfall of the Kuomintang (KMT) during the Chinese Civil War. Loh examines the events surrounding the KMT's defeat at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the subsequent establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The book investigates both military and political dimensions of the KMT's collapse, exploring the strategic mistakes made by its leadership, including Chiang Kai-shek's decisions and the KMT's inability to adapt to changing social and political dynamics. Loh emphasizes the impact of corruption within the KMT, the loss of popular support, and the effective strategies employed by the CCP, which capitalized on the KMT's weaknesses. Snow, Edgar - Long Revolution:From AI: The Long Revolution, by Edgar Snow, published by Random House in 1972, is a comprehensive examination of the social, political, and cultural transformations occurring in China following the communist victory in 1949. Snow, an influential American journalist and author known for his earlier work Red Star Over China, draws on his extensive experience in China to provide a detailed analysis of the profound changes sweeping the nation. In this work, Snow explores the concept of the "Long Revolution," referring to the ongoing and multifaceted process of change that extends beyond the immediate political revolution of 1949. He discusses the ideological underpinnings of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the aspirations of its leaders, particularly Mao Zedong, as they seek to reshape Chinese society according to Marxist principles. Snow delves into various aspects of Chinese life, including the impacts on agriculture, industry, education, and cultural practices. He examines how the communist regime has sought to eliminate feudal remnants and promote socialist values, while also considering the challenges and contradictions that arise in this transformative process. Tuten, Frederic - Adventures of Mao on the Long March:From AI: The Adventures of Mao on the Long March, by Frederic Tuten, published by Richard Kasak / Citadel Press in 1971, is a unique blend of historical fiction and surrealism that reimagines one of the pivotal events in Chinese history—the Long March of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the 1930s. Tuten crafts a narrative that follows Mao Zedong and his fellow revolutionaries as they embark on this grueling journey across China, highlighting not only the physical challenges they face but also the ideological and personal struggles that accompany their mission. The novel employs a whimsical and imaginative style, infusing the historical account with elements of fantasy and satire, allowing readers to engage with the complexities of revolutionary thought and action.
