The Resource Salt of the earth : the political origins of peasant protest and communist revolution in China, Ralph A. Thaxton, Jr

Salt of the earth : the political origins of peasant protest and communist revolution in China, Ralph A. Thaxton, Jr

Creator
Summary
There are many books on the Chinese revolution, but none cover the politics of the revolution like this one. The author's collection and use of oral histories - from the last remaining eyewitnesses - and written corroborative materials is a remarkable achievement; his new interpretation of why China's rural people supported and joined the Communists in their quest for state power is dramatically different from what has come before
