[This] volume offers many valuable insights about Chinese politics of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as an important general lesson. . . . The author must be commended for this comprehensive and original work, but also for setting high standards for Sino-American research cooperation. The Review of Politics

A detailed report based on discussions with participants is provided of the student demonstrations in December 1986.
