Chen Yao-huang,Integrate and Divide： The Communist Revolution in Hebei Area, 1921-1949 （in Chinese）

For decades, the victory of the Chinese Communist Party （CCP） has been fascinating historians of modem China who work outside of the People＇s Republic of China. After recognizing the complexity of the Chinese Revolution, they have tended to focus on specific regions, applying the approaches of a variety of disciplines including sociology, a trend that gave rise to the field of ＂base area studies,＂ marked by the publishing of Mark Sheldon＇s The Yenan Way in 1971. This new book by Chen Yao-huang is another remarkable contribution to the study of base areas.
