Flowing Steel: Operating Systems of the Chinese Communist Party during Wartime, 1937–1945
From 1937 to 1945, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) underwent a miraculous path of development: from a weak force that had just finished the Long March and was struggling to survive in the cracks, to rapidly growing into one of the most important political forces in China. Not only that, but the characteristics of the party forged by specific historical realities during this period continued to have a profound impact on the history and reality of the party and even on China for a long time after the war.
Combining the analysis of the Party organisation during the war period and the observation of individual Party members, this book provides "the most detailed close-up" and "breakthrough overall understanding" of the formation of the CCP's political culture and the creation of the revolutionary system, showing how the operation and evolution of the cadre discipline, policy implementation, survival and resistance system brought unprecedented control and cohesion to the CCP, and built it into a "steely political force".
