Village China at War
The Impact of Resistance to Japan, 1937-1945
This groundbreaking study on the forging of Chinese communism in the furnace of the anti-Japanese war focuses on North China, where the CCP first took root and later expanded to conquer China. The study examines how the combination of wartime conditions and explosive growth led to loss of central control of the Chinese Communist movement.
