About The Book

Making Revolution is a book of signal importance: it is the first detailed empirical study of the most crucial period in the rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the 1930s and 1940s, when the Party organized the peasantry into armed forces and guerrillas. The author’s exhaustive primary sources in Chinese and Japanese and, in particular, his generous inclusion of direct quotations are great strengths of this book, which is far and away the best researched and most complete treatment of a key question in modern history. His monumental work is certain to change our understanding of the relationship of the CCP to rural society during wartime.

Dr. Chen’s research is unrivaled in the quality and quantity of internal CCP documents it employs, and a fuller and far more complex and convincing description of CCP successes in wartime rural China emerges from this volume than from those we have had up to now.

The book focuses on the military struggle, peasant mobilization, and the united fronts. In each of these areas Dr. Chen offers readers a tangible grasp of an exemplary peasant revolution that until now has remained an elusive abstraction because of a lack of detailed information. To readers interested in wartime China, he offers the insights of cadres into rural society — insights that were proven to be correct in practice. And to readers interested in China today, Dr. Chen offers clues to the dilemma faced by the Party in its attempt to modernize the nation.
