Comment:
The volume by Chinese scholars provides foreign readers with a good overview and a considerable amount of data on the evolution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) over nine decades. It offers Chinese perspectives on many complicated and sensitive subjects – even if foreign readers and scholars do not agree with these perspectives, they should still be aware of them.
