This U.S. Information Service collection is a compilation of the Chinese press and translations of radio broadcasts from the the Civil War period, which provides a unique opportunity to understand immediate post-World War II Chinese history, comparative revolution, and early Cold War history. The combination of smaller press collections weave together the strands of military, social, political, and free world history, and includes an analysis of how the Chinese Communist Party achieved victory in the Chinese civil war of 1946-1950.
