Stalin's Failure in China, 1924-1927

By Conrad Brandt

Harvard University Press, 1958, 226 pp.

A brief but most rewarding account and analysis of the abortive Soviet effort to bring about a Communist revolution in China in the 1920s. Of particular interest is the author's treatment of the Stalin-Trotsky dispute on the strategy and tactics to be pursued in a backward area.
