Soldiers of Fortune: The Rise and Fall of the Chinese Military-Business Complex, 1978-1998 - The Rise and Fall of the Chinese Military-Business Complex, 1978-1998 (Hardcover)

A comprehensive examination of the transformation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army into one of the most important actors in the Chinese economy -- an amalgam of military and commercial interests controlling a multi-billion dollar international business empire. The author provides the first documentary analysis of decision-making surrounding the origins of this post-1978 military- business complex. He offers a detailed picture of the system's wide-ranging structure and sectoral interests, and links this military commercialism to the rise of corruption in the ranks.
