Waldron sketches the broad historical background to his subject and draws on Chinese and western research to focus on three levels of conflict: the battle itself, the strategy of campaigns, and the political significance of war. With a keen awareness of the larger interpretive questions, he provides a masterly guide to the momentous struggles that wracked China in the first half of this century.
