"A fascinating volume offering insights into what remains one of
the most emotional and still controversial issues in modern Chinese
history--the Chinese experience in the Korean War. Until now the
recollections of China's top military personnel, among them the
most colorful and powerful in the Chinese Communist leadership,
have been inaccessible to most Americans. This volume helps us now
to begin reconstructing the views of the 'other side' in the not so
Cold War."--Gordon Chang, author of Friends and Enemies: The United
States, China, and the Soviet Union, 1948-1972"Essential reading
for military and diplomatic historians as well as students of
Chinese politics."--William Stueck, Jr., author of The Korean
War"Provides valuable insight into Chinese perspectives on the
Korean War truce negotiations."--Warren Cohen, author of America's
Response to China
"Three eminent scholars provide one of the best compilations of
high-level Chinese recollections of the 'Forgotten War.' . . . The
multifaceted nature of the memoirs selected gives the reader a
360-degree operational view of Chinese efforts to counter UN and US
actions in the Korean War. . . . Military historians, serving
officers, and designers of future military campaigns should read
this essential volume carefully because it provides a rare glimpse
into the 'troubles of the enemy.'"--Air & Space Power Journal"A
welcome addition to the ever-growing corpus of literature in the
field, shedding new light on the strategic thinking, ideological
inclination, military planning, and execution of the 'other side'
in the conflict."--Journal of Military History"A unique and very
useful source. Anyone who is interested in the Chinese perspective
of the Korean War should read it."--Journal of Asian Studies
