A Financial Times And Foreign Policy Most Anticipated Book Of 2026A Barnes & Noble Reads Best Book Of February 2026From Renowned, PrizeWinning Historian Frank Diktter, A Commanding New History Of ChinaS Path To Communism.The History Of Modern China Has Long Been Portrayed As A Tale Of Communists Fighting In The Hills For Freedom, Gradually Gaining Popular Support By Taking Land From The Rich And Giving It To The Poor. Drawing On A Wealth Of Archival Evidence, Red Dawn Over China Reveals How Unlikely The PartyS Victory Actually Was, Had It Not Been For Financial And Military Support From The Soviet Union.Established In 1921 Under The Direct Guidance Of Moscow, For The Best Part Of A Decade The Communist Party Left A Trail Of Destruction, Besieging Towns And Plundering The Countryside. When The Communists Managed To Hold Territory, They Reduced The Villagers To A State Of Servitude, Undermining Belief In Their Cause As Well As The Local Economy. By 1936 They Had The Same Popular Appeal As An Obscure Religious Sect. A Brutal War Of Occupation By Japan Allowed Them To Survive Far Behind Enemy Lines. After Soviet Troops Invaded Manchuria In 1945 And Provided More Money And Munitions, The Communists At Long Last Prevailed Through A Pitiless War Of Attrition, Driven By An Unflinching Will To Conquer At All Costs.In This Riveting Tale Told With Great Narrative Verve, Frank Diktter Reveals How Thirteen Delegates Gathered In A Dusty Room In 1921 Ended Up Raising The Red Flag Over The Forbidden City In 1949, Forever Altering The Course Of History For A Quarter Of Humanity And Shaping The World As We Know It Today.
