China shakes the world
Book • 1949
Published in 1949, 'China Shakes the World' is a seminal work by Jack Belden that offers a balanced and insightful view of the Chinese Civil War. Belden spent time with the army, guerrillas, and peasantry, documenting their stories and experiences.
The book highlights the Communist Party's efforts to establish a new type of government, distinct from both Soviet Russia and the Kuomintang, and focuses on the impact of land reform and the battle between big landlords and peasants.
Despite initial low sales, the book gained recognition as a classic in the 1960s, particularly after its reissue with an introduction by Owen Lattimore.
