About the Author
Ray Hartman is assistant professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul.
This book offers extensive empirical evidence on how the CCP
developed its political support and military tactics during its
formative years and the Korean War based on a tripartite framework
of Chinese political legitimacy. It makes a significant
contribution to our comprehension of the biggest political party in
the world and its arduous battle to wrest control of political
power and preserve its broad base of popular support. This study of
the Chinese idea of legitimacy and how the CCP has adapted to it
filled an important gap in the study of Chinese political
development.
