An analysis of how the ruling Nationalists lost the 1945-1949 civil war in China - not just militarily, but by alienating the civilian population through corruption and incompetence. It explores the research and archival sources available for assessing this pivotal period in Chinese history.

This is the first comprehensive book to cover the whole sweep of twentieth-century Chinese education at a high standard of scholarship.
