CHINA:CENTURY OF REVOLUTION

China: A Century of Revolution is a tour-de-force journey through that country's most tumultuous period. China in Revolution charts the country's most violent era where decades of civil war and foreign invasions led to the bloody battle for power between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek. The Mao Years examines the turbulent era of Mao's attempts to forge a new China from the war-ravaged and poverty-stricken nation. Mao's death begins Born Under the Red Flag, which follows the country's new leadership of Deng Xiaoping and its unlikely transformation into an extraordinary hybrid of communist-centralized politics with an ever-expanding free market economy.
