Written in the late 1940s, the book presents a ground-level account of the civil war between Mao Zedong's Communist forces and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government, drawing on Belden's direct access to soldiers, peasants, and commanders alike. With a narrative style that is urgent and visceral, it illustrates the immense social forces driving hundreds of millions of Chinese people toward radical change, arguing that the revolution was as much a peasant uprising as a military campaign. Celebrated as one of the finest pieces of reportage ever written about China, it remains an indispensable document for understanding one of the twentieth century's most transformative political events.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888002969819,"sku":"2026200009245-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/acef9a64-f60b-49ae-b07a-2d803fbb1252.png?v=1781752236","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009245-secondhand-china-shakes-the-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
