ABOUT THE BOOK

As part of a continuing examination of mainland China's recent political coalitions and confrontations, Volume 3 offers a narrative account of the important events that unfolded during the fourteen years between Mao Tse-tung's death and Hua Kuo-feng's demise. The editors identify the factions that wrestled for power and policy-making privileges. They recount the debate over whether China should be dominated by class struggle, development through mobilization and "permanent revolution" or by organizational stability, growth-oriented development, and modernization.

The book features a collection of significant texts from the period, arranged chronologically and topically for easy reference.
