This is a riveting, day-by-day, hour-by-hour reconstruction of the
massacre in Tiananmen Square on June 3-4, 1989, as well as of the
crucial events in Beijing during the previous weeks that largely
precipitated the massacre. The author focuses on the army-the
People's Liberation Army-which, with its motto "Serve the People,"
had always prided itself on its close ties to the civilian
population. What were the intentions of the Chinese government in
mobilizing the army against civilians? Why did the troops act as
they did, and what does this say about how the army would act on
the next such occasion? How does the military suppression of the
democracy movement help us to understand China's current
predicament over democratization and human rights?
