The Birth of Communist China - Fitzgerald, C.P.

Clean, tight, unmarked; some wear to edges of spine; small crease to upper inside corner of cover; age tanned; colors bright; very tight; appears unread; After introducing China's long history and social structure, Fitzgerald opens at the fall of the Manchu Emperors in 1911 and traces the origins of revolution through the early republic of Sun Yat-sen to the military campaigns of Mao Tse-tung. He assesses the varying influences of Confucianism and Christianity, of East and West, and of the Japanese and Russians on this massive movement, and makes it abundantly clear that the China of today is the logical development of its immensely long past.
