China's Civil War is the first book of its kind to offer a social
history in English of the Civil War in 1945-9 that brought the
Chinese Communist Party to power. Integrating history and memory,
it surveys a period of intense upheaval and chaos to show how the
Communist Party and its armies succeeded in overthrowing the
Nationalist government to bring political and social revolution to
China. Drawing from a collection of biographies, memoirs,
illustrations and oral histories, Diana Lary gives a voice to those
who experienced the war first-hand, exemplifying the direct effects
of warfare - the separations and divisions, the exiles and losses,
and the social upheaval that resulted from the conflict. Lary
explores the long-term impact on Chinese societies on the Mainland,
Taiwan and Hong Kong, which have all diverged far from pre-war
Chinese society.
