Chong-Sik Lee

4.9/5 (17830 ratings)

Description:In a pathbreaking study, Professor Lee has marshaled an impressive array of primary sources in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian to trace the rise and fall of the Chinese Communist Party in Manchuria (the Northeast region of China). Lee argues that the CCP failed in Manchuria while it followed a strategy of organizing the urban proletariat. Moreover, the farmers did not rally to the party while it espoused radical revolution. The party was able to mobilize the masses only when it adopted the strategy of a united front against Japan in 1935. Although little known in the West, many thousands of Chinese and the Korean minority in Manchuria engaged in a bloody struggle against Japanese imperialism.Lee argues, too, that Soviet national interest played an important role in the design of CCP strategies in Manchuria. The Comintern downplayed the anti-imperial struggle in 1928, when it was vulnerable, but stressed it after 1933, when the Soviet Union needed a strong anti-imperial movement in China to divert the energy and attention of the Japanese.This volume is an important contribution to the understanding of revolution and local conditions within China during the Republican era.Chong-Sik Lee is Professor of Political Science and Director of the Anspach Institute for Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs, University of Pennsylvania. He is co-author with Robert A. Scalapino of the award-winning study, Communism in Korea (University of California Press, 1974). Lee spent a good part of his youth in Manchuria.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
