Deadly Decision in Beijing

Beschreibung

In this play-by-play account of the elite politics that led to the military crackdown during the 1989 Tiananmen protests, Su addresses the repression of the protest in the context of political leadership succession. He challenges conventional views that see the military intervention as a necessary measure against a revolutionary mobilization.
