From the back cover: On October 16, 1934, more than 100,000 Chinese Communist men and women set out on the Long March - a year-long, 6,000 mile journey across China. Pursued by feudal warlords and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist forces by day, marching by the light of glimmering reed torches at night, the marchers covered an average of 27 miles a day, and fought more battles than they could count. Noted journalist and China-watcher Dick Wilson recounts here the enthralling story of this epic journey: the historical background behind the decision to undertake the venture, the pattern of daily life, the strategy that determined when and where to march, the emergence of Mao Tse-tung as the marchers' unquestioned leader, and the consequences for China that reverberated around the life.", Very Good Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
