Description

Explore the evolution of the People's Liberation Army through this detailed historical study. From Muskets to Missiles provides a deep look into the military, political, economic, and social environments that shaped PLA officers from the end of the civil war in 1945 through 1981. Dr. Jencks examines the personal commitments and professional realities of a military career in the People's Republic of China. By looking at the impact of technology and military function, this book analyzes the various crises faced by the high command during this period. Rather than just listing historical events, the text focuses on how these moments affected the officer corps and their professional development. This work is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of modern China and the development of its military leadership.
