With the armed forces of the People's Republic of China celebrating
their 75th anniversary on August 1, 2002, it only seemed
appropriate and timely to take stock of the world's largest
military. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) has officially been in
existence for three-quarters of a century, and its history is one
filled with turmoil and warfare. One weekend in September 2002, a
group of PLA specialists gathered at Carlisle Barracks, the home of
the U.S. Army War College, to assess what lessons China's soldiers
had drawn from the history of their own armed forces. This volume
constitutes the final product of months of extensive research by
the individual authors and hours of intense discussion at the 3-day
conference by approximately 50 participants. The conference was
sponsored jointly by the American Enterprise Institute, the
Heritage Foundation, and the U.S. Army War College. It is with
great pleasure that I commend this book to anyone with a serious
interest in the Chinese military.
