W. Macmahon Ball, a distinguished Professor of Political Science at the University of Melbourne, argues that nationalism and communism were not merely competing doctrines but deeply intertwined movements that together drove the region's anti-colonial struggles and revolutionary upheavals. Drawing on firsthand knowledge and scholarly expertise, the work chronicles the rise of mass political movements across China, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia, illustrating how local aspirations for independence became fused with Marxist ideology in ways that confounded Western observers. Written with analytical clarity and a measured academic tone, the book remains an essential primary text for understanding the Cold War dynamics and post-war political order of the Asia-Pacific region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888028758235,"sku":"2026200007096-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/714ab1f2-6df2-482b-98ee-61bb870e8661.png?v=1781753241","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007096-secondhand-nationalism-communism-in-east-asia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
