From an on-line posting: "If there is one constant in expert analyses of the history of modern China, it is the characterization of a country perpetually in the throes of crises. While China at the mid-point of the Twenty-first Century's first decade is arguably the most secure and stable it has been in more than a century, crises continue to emerge with apparent frequency. The study of China's behavior in conditions of tension and stress is of considerable importance to policy makers and analysts around the world. This volume represents the fruits of a conference held at the U.S. Army War College in September 2005 on the theme of "Chinese Crisis Management."

No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.…
