David Goodman reaches beyond China's spectacular economic success of recent years to understand the sources of Deng's political power. This is a balanced evaluation of the career of one of the century's great political survivors.

The surprise Chinese invasion of Vietnam in 1979 shocked the international community. The two communist nations had seemed firm political and cultural allies, but the twenty-nine-day border war imposed heavy casualties, ruined urban and agricultural infrastructure, leveled three Vietnamese cities, and catalyzed a decadelong conflict. In this groundbreaking book, Xiaoming Zhang traces the roots of the conflict to the historic relationship between the peoples of China and Vietnam, the ongoing Sino-Soviet dispute, and Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping's desire to modernize his country. Deng's perceptions of the Soviet Union, combined with his plans for economic and military reform, shaped China's strategic vision. Drawing on newly declassified Chinese documents and memoirs by senior military and civilian figures, Zhang takes readers into the heart of Beijing's decision-making process and illustrates the war's importance for understanding the modern Chinese military, as well as China's role in the Asian-Pacific world today.

Deng Xiaoping has a profound impact on the direction of Chinese history and world history. He has also changed the fate of every contemporary Chinese. The interpretation of Deng Xiaopings political career and his behavioral logics can be seen as the interpretation of contemporary China and the history situation behind personal destinies. The Era of Deng Xiaoping, a masterpiece with authority written by professor Fu Gaoyi in Harvard University in as long as 10 years, is a panoramic description of Deng Xiaopings life which is full of ups and downs and the rugged and breathtaking road of reform and opening up in China. The author makes an in-depth analysis of Deng Xiaopings personality and governing style,and a complete and unique interpretation of the history of Chinas reform and opening up. The book covers a wealth of Chinese and foreign archival data and research results, as well as a large number of exclusive interviews. Major issues such as: the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, historical assessment of Hua Guofeng, behind-the-scenes twists and turns of the reform and opening up, relationships between Deng Xiaoping and many of the key figures at that time,question of Hong Kong, and Deng Xiaopings southern tour are all elaborated and analyzed in detail. It boasts not only the rigorous and specialization of academic research, but also a thorough grasp of political reality and things, truth and human relationships in China, known as a ""monumental "" writing on the study of Deng Xiaoping.

A bold new history of the Deng years by a leading China scholarUnlike the former Soviet Union and the once "socialist" countries of Eastern Europe, China's current economy is now the world's second largest and most rapidly growing. Remarkably, today's problems in China are spiritual in nature-"a crisis of faith"-stemming from the clash between capitalist realities and lingering socialist values and ideas.The Deng Xiaoping Era is the story of that crisis and of Deng Xiaoping's promise of socialist democracy that has degenerated into bureaucratic capitalism. Maurice Meisner shows how the social contract between the Chinese Communist Party and the people was grossly violated by the Deng regime, and why capitalism has emerged as the dynamic force in today's socioeconomic and cultural life. Now, after more than a decade of capitalist reforms, he argues that Chinese spiritual malaise is deepening with the brutal suppression of the 1989 Democracy Movement and its politically repressive aftermath.This is an indispensable study of contemporary Chinese history-from the Chinese Revolution and the founding of the Maoist state to the establishment of the Deng regime and the social consequences of Deng's reforms-as well as a formidable analysis of the failure of the world's greatest socialist experiment.

Perhaps no one in the twentieth century had a greater long-term impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China’s boldest strategist.Once described by Mao Zedong as a ";needle inside a ball of cotton,"; Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China’s radical transformation in the late twentieth century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao’s cult of personality, and loosened the economic and social policies that had stunted China’s growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at Tiana

It all began in 1978 when Deng emerged as China’s preeminent leader and immediately launched a new era of internal reform and expanded contact with the external world. The changes made in those early days not only altered China’s own course but were to profoundly affect the rest of the world, as well. We have long known the bare facts about the 11th Party Congress, but we have known almost nothing about the 36-day CCP Party Work Conference of November, 1978 and little more about what went on behind the scenes at the Third Plenum, which immediately followed the Conference, that December. Fortunately, in 1998, on the 20th anniversary of these earth-shaking events, one of the last surviving key participants in these meetings, Yu Guangyuan, then age 83, wrote a book describing the background and the activities of both meetings. Yu was a regular active participant in the Party Work Conference and, although he was not a member of the Central Committee, he did attend the plenum as a staff member and took regular notes. Yu based his book on his detailed notes of those meetings. . . . Thanks to Yu’s account, we now understand the nature of the Party Work Conference and the drama that took place there. Until Yu’s book appeared, it was possible for Western scholars to argue that the turning point in China’s reform and opening was at the Third Plenum of December 1978. We now know that all the key debates had already been held at the 36-day Party Work Conference . . . and that the Third Plenum which followed immediately was essentially ceremonial, officially approving the new consensus that had been worked out at the Party Work Conference.
