Description:

An analysis of how the ruling Nationalists lost the 1945-1949 civil war in China - not just militarily, but by alienating the civilian population through corruption and incompetence. It explores the research and archival sources available for assessing this pivotal period in Chinese history.

Synopsis:

Many books have tried to analyze the reasons for the Chinese communist success in China's 1945-1949 civil war, but Suzanne Pepper's seminal work was the first and remains the only comprehensive analysis of how the ruling Nationalists lost that war-not just militarily, but by alienating the civilian population through corruption and incompetence. Now available in a new edition, this authoritative investigation of Kuomintang failure and communist success explores the new research and archival resources available for assessing this pivotal period in contemporary Chinese history.
