The warlords of twentieth-century china have received little scholarly attention.". This omission is due, apart from the reasons viven in Mr. Sheridan's 'Preface', to the historical significance of the men and their period not being fully appreciated. What sort of men were they ? How did they rise to such great power? What effect did their abuse of power have on Chinese society ? Why did the May Fourth Movement, the Washington Conference, the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, the reorganization of the Kuomintang, and the May 30th Movement use the misrule of the warlords as their back-drop? How far did the warlords undo the work of the restoration in the 1860"s and 19870"s ? These are but a few pertinent questions. In a period of merely 16 years (1912-28), over 1, 300 warlords had fought more than 140 provincial and interprovincial wars. Such a period is bund to be complicated but should not daunt the curiosity of the historian
