The 19 founding marshals and generals of New China described in this book are a group of people made of special materials. They were all born in the dark old China. They all survived the heavy oppression of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. They survived warlords' melees, bullets, and narrow escapes. They grew up under the nurturing of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought. They are the superstars of China, the elites of the Chinese nation in the 20th century, the heroes of national liberation, and outstanding representatives of thousands of soldiers. They are still models for us to learn from today. (Publisher: Chinese Communist Party History Press, ISBN: 9787801994561)
