Underground - The Shanghai Communist Party and the Politics of Survival, 1927d1937

This pathbreaking study offers the first in-depth view of the urban revolution during the pivotal Nanjing Decade. Focusing on China's largest and most cosmopolitan city, Stranahan examines how the Party organization in Shanghai-severed from the central leadership and pursued by Guomindang and foreign authorities alike-survived through a flexible organizing strategy attuned to the changing local environment.
