Reviews

'... a fair-minded and sensible account of Chiang, and a work of impressive scholarship using Chinese, Russian and English sources with skill.' Rana Mitter, chinabooksreview.com '... concise and engaging ... of interest to professional historians and accessible to graduate and undergraduate students.' Harold Tanner, The China Quarterly '... [an] excellent treatment of the Chinese economy. Including this monograph in a graduate seminar on modern China would certainly generate lively and productive discussion among students.' Linh D.
