Turbulent Decade: A History of the Cultural Revolution

THE MOST comprehensive work in English is the Cambridge History of China, vol. 15: The People's Republic: Revolutions within the Chinese Revolution 1966-1982, pt. 2. (Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1991), a huge compendium of works by a number of contemporary China scholars.

An astute work on the subject is by Hong Yung Lee, The Politics of the Chinese Cultural Revolution: A Case Study (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1978).

Other works of a general nature are by Jean Daubier, A History of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, trans. Richard Seaver, preface by Han Suyin (New York: Vintage Books, 1974); Harold C. Hinton, ed., The People's Republic of China, 1949‐ 1979: A Documentary Survey, 5 vols. (Wilmington, Del.: Scholarly Resources, 1980); Maurice Meisner, Mao's China: A History of the People's Republic (New York: The Free Press, 1977); Thomas W Robinson, ed., The Cultural Revolution in China (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1971); and Stuart R. Schram, Authority, Participation, and Cultural Change in China (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1973), esp. "The Cultural Revolution in Historical Perspective," 1-108.
