{"product_id":"1581896","title":"The Birth Of Communist China by C. P. Fitzgerald","description":"This Pelican, which is a fully revised edition of the author's Revolution in China, sets out to assess the significance of the Chinese Revolution. After sketching in the background of China's long history and social structure C. P. Fitzgerald, who is now Professor of Far Eastern History at Canberra, opens his main account at the fall of the Manchu Emperors in 1911 and traces the origins of revolution through the early republic of Sun Yat-sen and the Nationalist dictatorship of Chiang Kal-shek to the military campaigns 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 not an inexplicable freak but a logical developmentof its immensely long past.
