Opis

A revisionist study of General He Yingqin, one of the most important, yet misunderstood, figures in China's Nationalist period.

Recenzje

'… a balanced account of one of the key figures in the Nationalist era, and shines new light on some of the most important events of that period. Worthing succeeds in demonstrating that He was not the incompetent sycophant or reactionary militarist others have made him out to be, and this book should be required reading for anyone seeking a better understanding of the challenges faced by the Nationalist regime.' Colin Green, Pacific Affairs
