"A few years after the establishment of the Chinese Republic in 1912, the authority of the central government disintegrated, and real control the country came to be divided among independent military leaders, each at the head of his personal army. These were the warlords, and the wars, intrigues, assassinations, and widespread social disorder they spawned were what we think of today as warlordism. This long needed book is the first serious full-length study in any language of the turbulent context in which Chinese nationalism and Chinese communism were born and grew to maturity. After a description of the emergence and general characteristics of early 20th-century warlordism, the book turns to a detailed account of the career of 'the Christian General,' Fang Yu-hsiang, one of the most colorful and historically important of the warlords."
