“The definitive, candid, and absorbing history of a political
organization…A vital account, based on magnificent research, that
shows the party as a colossal, relentless, and enduring
machine.”—Jane Perlez, former Beijing Bureau Chief, New York
Times “If you were to travel back in time to 1921 and predict
that the Communist Party of China would rule over the world’s
second-largest economy 100 years later, no one would believe you.
In this definitive primer, Tony Saich explains how the impossible
came true.”—Yuen Yuen Ang, Project Syndicate “An extremely
lucid, insightful history of the Chinese Communist Party. Saich’s
readable narrative takes the CCP from its origins as a tiny group
of revolutionaries…to the powerful, repressive rulers of a world
power today.”—James Mann, author of The China Fantasy Mao
Zedong and the twelve young men who founded the Chinese Communist
Party in 1921 could hardly have imagined that less than thirty
years later, they would rule China. Over a century later the party
remains in command, leading a nation primed for global dominance.
From Rebel to Ruler is a landmark history of the Chinese Communist
Party—its rise against incredible odds, its struggle to
consolidate power and overcome self-inflicted disasters, and its
ability to thrive long after the collapse of the Soviet Union and
dissolution of other communist parties. Leninist systems are
thought to be rigid, yet the Chinese Communist Party has proved
adaptable. Tony Saich shows that the party owes its endurance to
its flexibility. But is it nimble enough to realize Xi Jinping’s
“China Dream”? Challenges are multiplying, as a restless middle
class makes new demands and the party strays ever further from its
revolutionary roots.
