Books in the Mao's Road to Power series

This third volume in the series ""Mao's Road to Power"" contains documentation regarding Mao's military thoughts and information about the conflict between guerilla war in the overall strategy of the Chinese revolution during the years 1928-1930.

This volume opens with the Chinese communists in the midst of the Long March, and threatened with defeat, and ends with the establishment, after a decade of civil war, of a new agreement between the Communists and the Guomindang to join together in resisting Japanese aggression.

This volume documents the evolution of Mao's thinking in this area that found its culmination in his long report to the Sixth Enlarged Plenum of the Central Committee in October, 1938, explicitly entitled "On the New Stage" and presented here in its entirety.

This work offers translations of the material in Mao's 20 volumes, and also gives translations of other materials released in Beijing in 1993 on the occasion of Mao's centenary. The book opens with Mao's conversion to Marxism and to the Soviet model of proletarian dictatorship.

This eighth volume covers the period 1942 to 1945 when Mao asserted his status as the incarnation and symbol of the Chinese Revolution and the sinification of Marxism-Leninism.
