Some ink marks to text noted. David Milton was Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Oregon He worked for more than fifteen years as a union activist in the steel, meat packing, electrical and construction industries. During the mid-sixties, he spent five years in China teaching American Studies and English to students under the Foreign Ministry. When he entered the sociology graduate program at the University of Oregon, he worked closely with Professor Franz Schurmann, one of the leading China scholars in the country. During this period he co-edited the Random House China Reader - People's China - with Franz Schurmann and Nancy Milton and was co-author with his wife Nancy Dall Milton of The Wind Will Not Subside: Years in Revolutionary China 1964-1969. This was an eye-witness description and political analysis of Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. He was hired by the University of Oregon in 1978 and spent nearly twenty years teaching there. The sociology department at Oregon was unique in its emphasis on work, organized labor, social movements and environmental studies. In the early eighties, he was chair of the university Asian Studies Committee and over the years taught a wide range of graduate and undergraduate courses, specializing in modern China, American society, the U.S. labor movement, sociological theory and international relations. Derived from a May 9, 1976 New York Times review by Joseph Lelyveld. David and Nancy Milton are an American couple who transplanted themselves and three children to Peking in 1964. The Miltons provide the one indispensable account we have had of the Cultural Revolution; certainly the most vivid and balanced. The Miltons relate the ideological issues to the flesh and blood struggles in a coherent and comprehensible manner. From their special perspective, we see it both as a series of contrived eventsmedia events for Jenmin Jih Pao, the party paperand an emotional experience for those who tried to swim with currents that swept beyond the expectations of Mao Tse tung. The Miltons arrive at some discoveries about the limits on political action and the undertow of traditionsthe hierarchical tradition of the vanguard party and of immemorial China as well. Bits of personal memoir are woven through an academic narrative of the Cultural Revolution. Those experiences serve to validate their broader discussion and analysis, anchoring it in perceived reality. The Miltons were actually present at an encounter between Mao and a group of foreigners in Shanghai in November of that year. It lasted for "a number of hours" and what struck the Miltons was Mao's failure even to mention Vietnam, despite the presence of Americans. In retrospect, they conclude, this was no oversight but a signal, in the indirect Chinese manner, of his preoccupation with the Soviet menace. The "internal logic" of the Cultural Revolution, as they deduced it, led directly to the Nixon trip, for it was a "revolution against the Soviet Union" on two levelsboth "as a system and as an external power seeking to control China's future." As the Miltons interpret it, the Sino Soviet split was a bid by Mao for "Chinese national independence." But this left the Soviet style apparatus of his state intact, relying upon a technological elite in a manner that easily evoked China's own mandarin traditions. Mao's discovery of "revisionists" in Peking as well as in Moscow was a crucial step, the Miltons believe, to the eventual branding of Liu Shao Chi as "China's Khrushchev." By this interpretation, it was Liu and company, not Mao, who imagined that the center of the Communist universe could be shifted to Peking. Subsequently, they contend, Lin Piao resisted Mao's opening to the United States and thereby displayed his reservations about the "new Chinese world view" h.…
