P. Fitzgerald — Reader in Far Eastern History at the Australian National University, Canberra — stands as one of its most authoritative Western witnesses. Revolution in China chronicles the dramatic transformation of the world's most populous nation, tracing the collapse of Nationalist rule, the rise of Mao Zedong's Communist Party, and the sweeping social, political, and agrarian upheavals that reshaped Chinese civilization from the ground up. Fitzgerald brings the trained eye of a seasoned historian and a firsthand observer, presenting the revolution not as a distant ideological abstraction but as a living, breathing convulsion felt in every village, city, and institution across the Chinese mainland.\n\nDrawing on deep scholarly expertise and years of direct engagement with Chinese society, Fitzgerald argues that the revolution was as much a product of China's ancient social order as it was of Marxist ideology — a rupture centuries in the making. His prose is measured yet urgent, combining academic rigour with the narrative clarity of a writer who understands that history is made by people, not just movements. For anyone seeking to understand how one-quarter of humanity remade itself in a single generation, this essential work poses a question that still resonates: was China's revolution an end — or only a beginning?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216215417051,"sku":"2026200013094-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/553ea1b0-a659-437f-9bc1-49d0cfb878aa.png?v=1788405521","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013094-secondhand-revolution-in-china","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
