Patrick Fuliang Shan's biography of Li, the first English-language study in over half a century, draws on a wealth of Chinese-language primary and secondary sources to examine Li's early life, family, education, and career; his endeavors to introduce Western civilization to the Chinese; his switch to communism and his leadership role in the early Communist movement; his political maneuvers and revolutionary activities; and his tragic death at the hands of the warlord Zhang Zuolin. While its focus is on Li's personal odyssey and extraordinary journey, the book also presents an in-depth analysis of China's broad national experience and its march towards modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48962967470315,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":67.66,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781438496795","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
