The Long March 1935: The Epic of Chinese Communism's Survival By Dick Wilson
About the book:
In October 1934, more than 100,000 Chinese Communists set out on the Long March - a years long, 10,000 km journey across China. They were pursued by feudal warlords and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces day and night. This is an account of that time, of the historical background and of the consequences for China.
About the author:
Born in 1928, Dick Wilson is a British author, editor, compiler and collector who has 70 published works in 397 publications and in nine languages. Wilson's most notable works on China include Zhou Enlai: a biography; When tigers fights: the story of the Sino-Japanese War, 1937-1945; and Anatomy of China : an introduction to one quarter of mankind.
What the author said about the Long March:
"The Long March remains an unparalleled human story of sheer dogged grit and determination.”
"The pure bravado of the collective and individual feats of this great army in 1934-5 must claim respect and admiration from every generation and from every quarter of the globe.”
