Finding Allies and Making Revolution: The Early Years of the Chinese Communist Party
What does a Dutchman have to do with the rise of the Chinese Communist Party? Finding Allies and Making Revolution by Tony Saich reveals how Henk Sneevliet (alias Maring), arriving as Lenin's choice for China work, provided the communists with two of their most enduring legacies: the idea of a Leninist party and the tactic of the united front.

Through the Past Darkly: Some New Sources on the Founding of the Chinese Communist Party
The current stress of the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party on the necessity of “seeking truth from facts” and the accompanying more liberal attitude to research have led to a re-vitalisation, as in other areas, of the study of party history. The portrayal of Mao Zedong in a more fallible light and the ending of the overemphasis on his role in the Chinese Revolution have led to the study, or re-study, of aspects of Chinese communist histo…

Introductory Essay: Background to the 7 February Peking-Hankou Railway Workers' Strike
The events described in the Bloodshed of the Peking-Hankou Workers had a major influence on the development of the communist movement in China. The massacre of the striking railway workers in February 1923 caused the CCP leadership to realise that the party could not rely on the strength of the proletariat alone in its struggle against foreign imperialists and domestic warlord forces. The euphoria of the CCP for the growing power of organised lab…
