Description

Understand the profound transformation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) through this detailed historical study. This book examines how the PLA moved from a position of significant political power toward a professionalized, relatively apolitical role under China's civilian leadership. Dr. Bullard traces the revolutionary transition of the military during a period of intense change. The text explores the structural shifts that occurred as the PLA focused on military modernization. By studying this era, readers gain insight into how the foundation was laid for the PLA to develop into one of the most powerful military forces in the world today. This work is essential for students, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of Chinese political and military structures between 1960 and 1984.
