China's Use of Military Force: Beyond the Great Wall and the Long March (Cambridge Modern China Series) Book

In this unique study of China's militarism, Andrew Scobell examines the use of force abroad -- as in Korea (1950), Vietnam (1979), and the Taiwan Strait (1995-1996) -- and domestically, as during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s and in the 1989 military crackdown in Tiananmen square. The author warns that a "Cult of Defense" disposes Chinese leaders to rationalize all military deployment as defensive, while changes in the People's Liberation Army's doctrine and capabilities over the past two decades suggest that China's 21st Century leaders may use military force more readily than their predecessors.Read More
