THE TIANANMEN PAPERS, which contains documents unearthed from the guarded core of the Chinese Politburo, is the most important book on China published in decades. It reveals the highest-level processes of decision-making during the tumultuous events surrounding the terrible massacre in Tiananmen Square on 4 June 1989.Drawn from about 2,000 documents, THE TIANANMEN PAPERS have been compiled and edited as part of an extraordinary collaboration between America's most prominent China scholars and a handful of Chinese people who have risked their lives to obtain them.The Chinese pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989 were the longest lasting and most influential in the world. THE TIANANMEN PAPERS exposes the desperate conflict during the period among a few strong leaders, whose personalities emerge with unprecedented vividness. Its revelations of the most important event in modern Chinese history will have a profound impact not only in China, but in every country in the world that deals with China.

Review
The most valuable political book I read was THE TIANANMEN PAPERS, which gives an extraordinary insight into the old regime's ruthless stand against the freedom campaigners in Beijing in 1989. * GUARDIAN * The significance and rarity of the book and its potential value to researchers can hardly be overstated. * OBSERVER * Fascinating. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH * Thanks to these documents, we can read the words of the Party bosses, angry and baffled... Today many Chinese officials blandly deny that there was a massacre at all. These documents, however, prove it all. * John Simpson, BBC's World Affairs Editor *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The events of the Beijing Spring of 1989 were amongst the most momentous of China's tumultuous 20th century. What began as a peaceful memorial demonstration following the death of a popular reform leader, soon developed into a massive pro-democracy movement with Tiananmen Square as the focal point. As hundreds of thousands of students and workers poured onto the Beijing streets, the Chinese government responded first by declaring martial law and then, on 4th June, fatefully sending in the People's Liberation Army to crush the protesters forcefully. This book is a collaboration between America's most prominent Chinese scholars and people inside China to provide an inside look at the Chinese Politburo. It has not been revealed before exactly how the secretive Chinese ruling elite makes policy and decisions, nor has anyone been able to fully understand Chinese politics. They are revealed here with specificity and clarity. Like the Pentagon Papers on the operations of the American government during the Vietnam War, "The Tiananmen Papers" are extremely sensitive, offering a detailed, first-hand look inside China. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001548438
