But in this classic work of Marxist scholarship, historian Harold Isaacs uncovers how workers and peasants struggled for a different kind of revolution in the 1920s, one built from the bottom up. The defeat of their heroic efforts profoundly shaped the further course of modern Chinese history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is an excellent narrative: it is clear, exciting, and well-balanced in evidence and interpretation. Isaacs provides a detailed yet highly digestible account of the 1925-27 revolution, its roots, and its consequences. The book... successfully counters the tendency for the 1949 divide to ‘flatten[s] the jagged course of history into an uninformative curve that hides from us too much of the meaning of both past and present.’” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Sigrid Schmalzer, Assistant Professor of History University of Massachusetts, Amherst\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360266191191,"sku":"9781931859844","price":19.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781931859844.jpg?v=1754127164","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-tragedy-of-the-chinese-revolution-9781931859844","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
