Features: Sudden political and military incidents are common social phenomena in human history. The incidents themselves are not—least of all in most cases—the of defining advanced and backward, revolutionary and counter-revolutionary. Many incidents, when they occurred, actually propelled historical progress, such as China's Xi'an Incident. This book fills a gap in China's historical literature and is an extremely valuable reference. It holds certain reference value for historical research, diplomatic practice, and reforms in political, economic, and military systems.
