Every nation has its founding myth, and for modern China it is the
Long March. In the autumn of 1934, the Chinese Nationalists under
Chiang Kai-shek routed the Chinese Communists and some 80,000 men,
women and children left their homes to walk with Mao Zedong into
the unknown. Mao's force had to endure starvation, harsh climates,
and challenging terrain whilst under constant aerial bombardment
and threatened by daily skirmishes. The Long March survivors had to
cross 24 rivers and 18 mountain ranges, through freezing snow and
disease-ridden wilderness to reach their safe-haven of Yan'an. In
military terms, the Long March was the longest continuous march in
the history of warfare and it came as a terrible cost - after one
year, 6,000 miles and countless battles, fewer than 4,000 of the
original marchers were left. Illustrated with stunning full-colour
artwork, this enthralling book tells the full story this epic
display of resilience, and shows how, from the desert plateau of
Yan'an, these survivors would grow the army that conquered China 14
years on, changing history forever.
