Rise of the Red Engineers
Rise of the Red Engineers explains the tumultuous origins of the class of technocratic officials who rule China today. In a fascinating account, author Joel Andreas chronicles how two mutually hostile groupsthe poorly educated peasant revolutionaries who seized power in 1949 and China's old educated elitecoalesced to form a new dominant class. After dispossessing the country's propertied classes, Mao and the Communist Party took radical measures to eliminate class distinctions based on education, aggravating antagonisms between the new political and old cultural elites. Ultimately, however, Mao's attacks on both groups during the Cultural Revolution spurred inter-elite unity, paving the wayafter his deathfor the consolidation of a new class that combined their political and cultural resources. This story is told through a case study of Tsinghua University, whichas China's premier school of technologywas at the epicenter of these conflicts and became the party's preferred training ground for technocrats, including many of China's current leaders.
The Major
The most forgotten men in the Forgotten War were the American POWs, especially those who endured captivity during the early months of the Korean Conflict. Most were subjected to unspeakable horrors and extreme deprivations. Few survived. This text tells the story of several hundred Americans who struggled to maintain their human dignity under brutal conditions while trying to make their way home to those they loved. Their story takes place before American servicemen were trained to cope with torture and brainwashing and prior to The Code of Conduct becoming the standard by which American POWs would be judged.
