Features: This book carefully selects and translates some previously unknown primary sources from declassified archives of the Russian President, presenting them from various perspectives and angles. These materials objectively and authentically narrate significant historical facts surrounding the founding of the People's Republic of China, such as the behind-the-scenes story of Japan's surrender, the inner details of General Marshall's visit to China and Chiang Kai-shek's full-scale collapse, the reasons why Mao Zedong's visit to the Soviet Union was postponed several times, Stalin's real intentions toward the Communist Party, and the confidential circumstances of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entering the Korean War. These provide entirely new, firsthand accounts differing from those taught in history textbooks, offering valuable insights for the study of modern and contemporary history. They will also help general readers re-examine and better understand that period of history.
