The Chinese Communist Party, as the political leader of the world's
largest country and second largest economy, plays an undeniably
important role in global politics. Founded in a boarding school in
Shanghai in 1921, the Chinese Communist Party is one of the oldest
ruling parties in the world since its takeover of mainland China in
1949 under the leadership of Chairman Mao Zedong. Since its
inception, the party has survived a civil war with the Kuomintang
(1946-1949); the political, cultural, and humanitarian catastrophe
of the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960), where upwards of 30 million
Chinese civilians died; and the death of the Chinese Communist
Party's dominant leader, Mao Zedong, in 1976. In recent years,
intellectuals and party members have been given increasing leeway
to express their opinions, and Lawrence R. Sullivan takes advantage
of this new research to provide a comprehensive history of one of
the world's most fascinating political movements. The Historical
Dictionary of the Chinese Communist Party contains a chronology, an
introductory essay, an appendix, an extensive bibliography, and
more than 400 cross-reference dictionary entries on key people,
places, and institutions. This book is an excellent access point
for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
the Chinese Communist Party.
