China: Liberation and Transformation 1942-1962 (Routledge Library Editions: China Under Mao)

This book, first published in 1981, is a study concerned with the leadership and the people of China during the 1942-1962 period. It analyses the attempt made by the CCP to develop new policies of administration in the wartime base areas and the subsequent transformation of these policies after the Communists came to power. The problems of establishing control over China are detailed, as are those associated with adopting the Soviet model. The rejection of that model led to the adoption of the strategy that led to the Great Leap Forward, and its attendant problems are also studied here. This 13-volume collection of previously out-of-print titles reissues some key works in the study of Mao Zedong's huge influence on China – its politics, economics and development into the power that it is today. Foreign policy, the Cultural Revolution, the fate of opponents, Chinese Marxist thought – all are covered here, and more, in this essential reference resource. The Cultural Revolution in China generated a cascade of commentaries on its development and meaning. This bibliography, first published in 1976, lists all books, monographs and journal articles in English on the Cultural Revolution, each annotated to show its relevance - a vital reference source. This book, first published in 1981, is a study concerned with the leadership and the people of China during the 1942-1962 period. It analyses the policies of the CCP in this period and their effects on the country.

This modern history of China uses the most recently revealed available evidence and is concerned principally with the leadership and people of China during the 1942-1962 period.
