Communist China, 1955-1959: Policy Documents with Analysis

By Robert R. Bowie

The years 1955-1959 in Communist China included striking fluctuations and successes for Mao Tse-tung's Party, and the working out of the first Five-Year Plan for economic and agricultural development. Here analysis of domestic developments is supported by 48 documents--directives, speeches, and articles. The major Party pronouncements are given in full. The significance of each is clarified by prefatory comments indicating additional readings, and by the 41-page introductory essay. This newly integrated picture of five crucial years pioneers the use of documentation (as in Soviet studies) for dealing with Communist China.
