Features: The Whampoa Military Academy was a new-style military officer training school founded by Sun Yat-sen in China. Its full name is the National Military Academy of the Kuomintang, and it is commonly known as the Whampoa Military Academy because its campus is located on Whampoa Island in Guangzhou. The Whampoa Military Academy was established on June 16, 1924, and it has now been 80 years since its birth. It has gone through several stages of development, including Guangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Fengshan Military Academy in Taiwan. The book records only the history from its preparation to the end of the Great Revolution in 1927, which is until the graduation of its fifth cohort. The book is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. Based on a wealth of historical materials, it presents to readers the dramatic struggles in modern Chinese history and the early important figures and the various behind-the-scenes details of the first cooperation between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Kuomintang (KMT) during this historical tide.
