About this listen
In this updated introduction, Dr Michael Lynch provides a concise overview of the Chinese Civil War, a defining conflict in world history.
Between the end of World War II and the dawn of the Cold War, one of the most important conflicts in modern history reached its climax. In this history, bestselling historian Dr Michael Lynch examines how the long struggle between Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists and Mao Zedong’s Communists exploded into an intense, brutal and ruthlessly fought civil war. Delving into the political background and complex ramifications of the conflict, he assesses Mao and Chiang’s millions-strong armies, their strategies and commanders, and the critical campaigns that won and lost China. By 1949 the Nationalist government was defeated and in exile in Taiwan, and the new People’s Republic of China was ready to emerge as a major Cold War power.
Updated and revised for the new edition, this is a concise study of one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century and its significant repercussions, the issues around which remain unresolved today.©2022 Osprey Publishing Ltd (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
