Features: This book, written in a documentary style, comprehensively and systematically records the decision-making process behind Chiang Kai-shek's destruction of the united front, his instigation of friction, and the launch of the full-scale civil war after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan. Mao Zedong responded with unwavering determination, fighting for every inch of land and step, mobilizing troops, and initiating the War of Liberation. The book is rich in historical materials, with authentic and reliable stories of individuals, creating a thrilling and gripping narrative. It vividlys the grandeur of the people's war and the images of the revolutionary leaders and generals, serving as a lively textbook for the history of the Party and the nation, as well as an excellent read enjoyed by the masses. I worked alongside Chairman Mao for over twenty years and remember two incidents that made it very difficult for Chairman Mao to make a decision. One was in 1946 when we prepared to completely break with the Kuomintang. The other was in 1950 when we dispatched the People's Volunteer Army to fight in the Korean War.
