North Korea Diary
The desire to travel, whether to be warm in a cold season or from curiosity, can be a material force that, understood, helps to explain both the behavior of birds and history. In recent times, as this force became "tourism," a certain uniformity of experience characteristic of commodity form appeared. North Korea is one of the few places on the globe the rich cannot more or less freely visit. Therefore we provide you the useful anachronism of the…
Mao: A Lamentation
Korea, China, and the United States: A Look Back
The triumph of the Chinese revolution in 1949 secured the Manchurian rear of Kim II Sung's Democratic People's Republic and brought it the bonanza of scores of thousands of battle-experienced troops. Koreans whom Kim had sent to fight in the Chinese People's Liberation Army against the Kuomintang came home, bringing much equipment, and were integrated into the new northern army.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where m…
Good Deeds & Gunboats: Two Centuries of American-Chinese Encounters
On the Shortfalls and Brutalities of Rural Maoism; Letters from Whitey
The terrible turn in China has delayed this rejoinder to William H. Hinton. Hinton's views and mine coincide on some matters, among them the recent events in China and the need for a democratic direction there, but we view the Maoist performance in the countryside very differently. Hinton mistakenly wrote that the main issue in our debate is "the viability of agricultural producers' cooperatives as a basis for the rural economy of China." An atte…
More on the Chinese Countryside; Response to Hugh Deane
Herb and Ruth Gamberg's review of Red Earth: Revolution in a Sichuan Village (MR, June 1990) does not do justice to Stephen Endicott's conclusions.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Mao's Rural Politics Revisited; A Response to Deane
Recent issues if MR presented material relevant to the past and present situation in Chinese agriculture (William H. Hinton, "Dazhai Revisited," March 1988; Herb and Ruth Gamberg, "More on Dazhai," September 1988). Hugh Deane, a journalist with long experience in China, responded to these analyses last September, broadening the discussion to include a survey if developments that led up to the present situation. This survey in turn has been taken …
Mao's Rural Strategies: What Went Wrong
On the deadly parallel: A review with reminiscence
Pyongyang was immediately responsible for the fighting that began on June 25, 1950. It held the balance of military power and that enabled it to make the vital choices. Syngman Rhee's Capital Division may have attacked in some force on the Ongjin Peninsula and the suspicious circumstances uncovered by I. F. Stone in his The Hidden History of the Korean War may be the reality, but whether reacting to provocations (good leaderships do not) or takin…
The Permanent Promise: A Critique of the Liberal Books on Vietnam
"Why we are in Vietnam is today a question of mainly historical interest," Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. declares in the first sentence of his The Bitter Heritage; and in a later chapter on the "inscrutability of history," he imposes limits on this interest. He nevertheless sketches the course of the American involvement, his small view of history enabling him to describe it as a series of decisions which were reasonable at the time, even though exp…

The Taipings at Shanghai: A Note on an Unobserved Centennial
Chu Chia-sheng recalls in his remmiscence of the Long March a hungry night in the grasslands when a gaunt man with matted hair told the story of the last siege of the Taiping stronghold of Nanking in 1864, of how the rebels within the walls had to eat roots and oxhides, of how they were finally overwhelmed and Li Hsiu-cheng captured and executed.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published…
