Paperback. Couple of slight creases to front cover. Afterword by Orville Schell. The book consists of excerpts from approximately a thousand documents detailing the highest-level processes of decision-making during the fateful events. From records of their meetings and private conversations, we learn what the leaders said among themselves as they discussed the unfolding events - how they debated the student's motives, whom they identified as their main enemies, and why they waited as long as they did before ordering the troops to move in. 679 pp.

Inhaltsangabe

THE TIANANMEN PAPERS, which contains documents unearthed from the guarded core of the Chinese Politburo, is the most important book on China published in decades. It reveals the highest-level processes of decision-making during the tumultuous events surrounding the terrible massacre in Tiananmen Square on 4 June 1989.
Drawn from about 2,000 documents, THE TIANANMEN PAPERS have been compiled and edited as part of an extraordinary collaboration between America's most prominent China scholars and a handful of Chinese people who have risked their lives to obtain them.
The Chinese pro-democracy demonstrations in 1989 were the longest lasting and most influential in the world. THE TIANANMEN PAPERS exposes the desperate conflict during the period among a few strong leaders, whose personalities emerge with unprecedented vividness. Its revelations of the most important event in modern Chinese history will have a profound impact not only in China, but in every country in the world that deals with China.
