Book Synopsis Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and the Evolution of the Chinese Communist Leadership by : Thomas Kampen
Download or read book Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and the Evolution of the Chinese Communist Leadership written by Thomas Kampen and published by NIAS Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges long-established views that Mao Zedong became Chinese Communist Party leader during the Long March (1934-1935) and that by 1935 the CCP was independent of the Comintern in Moscow. The result is a critique not only of official Chinese historiography but also of Western scholarship, which all future histories of the rise of the PRC will need to take into account.
Download or read book Zhou Enlai written by Gao Wenqian and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Gao Wenqian first published this groundbreaking, provocative biography in Hong Kong, it was immediately banned in the People's Republic. Using classified documents spirited out of the China, he offers an objective human portrait of the real Zhou Enlai, the premier of the People's Republic of China from 1949 until his death in 1976. Often touted as “the last perfect revolutionary,” Zhou is “a modern saint” who offered protection to his people during the Cultural Revolution, and an icon who allows modern Chinese to find an admirable figure in what was a traumatic and bloody era. But his greatest gift was to survive, at almost any price, thanks to his acute understanding of where political power resided at any one time.
Download or read book Zhou Enlai written by Michael Dillon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enigmatic, Eminence grise, the 'power behind the throne' – these phrases sum up Zhou Enlai's long and varied, but always pivotal, political career in the Chinese Communist Party from the 1920s to 1970s. Born in 1898, Zhou witnessed several of the most important events in China's modern history and was a close associate of both the nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek and communist leader Mao Zedong, whom he served under as China's first premier from 1949 until 1976. Zhou was also a major ally of Deng Xiaoping – a source, for example, of major influence on his 'Four Modernizations' in agriculture, industry, science and technology, and the military. He was thus the prime architect of China's drive towards superpower status and one of the key determinants of China's central role in the modern world. Zhou does not conform readily to any of the stereotypes of communist leaders, Chinese or otherwise. Cultivated and urbane, he was a sympathetic and intellectual character, who was well-liked by non-communists, foreigners and his staff. He was one of the most complex figures in the politics of contemporary China, and certainly one of the most interesting, although his influence was never all that obvious. In this book, Michael Dillon restores him to his rightful place in history and analyses the role of a man who was 'a genuine statesman rather than just a political operator'.

Download or read book Eldest Son written by Suyin Han and published by Kodansha Globe. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zhou Enlai was one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century. Long overshadowed by the more visible - and charismatic - Mao Dzedong, he and his life and extraordinary accomplishments remain little recognized outside China, where he is still revered as the beloved father of the modern nation. In Eldest Son, Han Suyin brings this towering figure to life in a profoundly human and intimate portrait - the first full-scale biography of the late premier to be published in English. Between 1956 and 1974, Dr. Han conducted a series of eleven unprecedented interviews with Zhou, each of them lasting for several hours. Drawing upon these encounters, and on further meetings with his widow, his family and colleagues, as well as her unusual access to the Communist Party archives, Dr. Han presents a nuanced portrait of this deeply committed Chinese nationalist and Communist. Here is the full sweep of Zhou's remarkable life: his early schooling in Japan and Europe, his complex and loyal relationship to Mao, his historic meetings with other world leaders such as Khrushchev, Nehru, and Nixon which opened China to the global community. And Dr. Han gives us the private man as well as the public figure: his loving and formative marriage to Deng Yingchao, the murder of his adopted daughter at the hands of the Red Guards, and ultimately his painful battle with cancer. Like no other, Zhou's life is the history of modern China. Through the lens of his experience we see unfolding the dramatic, sometimes violent, decades of change: the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, the galvanizing Long March, the social convulsions of the Great Leap Forward, the violent excesses of the Cultural Revolution, andthe diplomatic rapprochement with the West in the 1970s. Dr. Han weaves these decisive events with the impressions and memories of hundreds of ordinary citizens from every sector of Chinese society to create a rich historical tapestry. Compellingly written, unique in its perspective, Eldest Son is masterful social history and an indispensable portrait of a legendary leader whose political legacy continues to influence the course of China today.
Book Synopsis Chou, the Story of Zhou Enlai, 1898-1976 by : Dick Wilson
Download or read book Chou, the Story of Zhou Enlai, 1898-1976 written by Dick Wilson and published by Hutchinson Radius. This book was released on 1984 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Zhou Enlai was the most appealing of modern China's leaders. Through three decades of war and upheaval in China before the communist revolution, and for almost thirty years after it, his influence was decisive in shaping the course of events. Yet, despite his public prominence, the real man remained elusive. This is the first fully comprehensive biography of Zhou to appear in the West. Dick Wilson has been collecting information on Zhou ever since his first encounter with the Chinese Premier in 1960. Drawing widely on documentary evidence, memoirs, anecdotes and interviews with eyewitnesses to Zhou's career, he traces the intertwining personal and political strands of Zhou's extraordinary life, showing how he came to embrace communism, and how he alone of Mao Zedong's comrades survived in power."--Book jacket.
