周恩来 上下 (2册合售)

This biography provides an unparalleled understanding of Zhou Enlai that is unlikely to be surpassed, either now or in the future.

For a long time, Zhou Enlai has been regarded as an extremely complex and enigmatic historical figure. Chen Jian, an expert in modern Chinese history, Sino-US relations, and the international Cold War, has dedicated twenty years to extensively collecting precious archives from China, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Japan, and other countries. With an unprecedented scale and density of historical materials, he has constructed this "milestone" academic biography, presenting Zhou Enlai's life, which is full of legends and paradoxes.
Based on the multi-sided verification and cross-referencing of historical materials, the author has filled in and corrected numerous obscure, misunderstood, or little-known historical details in Zhou Enlai's life, and, with critical empathy, explored the psychological and historical logic behind Zhou Enlai's actions and choices.
As a leader of the Communist Party of China and a highly influential politician on the 20th-century international stage, Zhou Enlai's image is re-examined in this book. This re-examination also constitutes a panoramic review and profound reflection on the history of the Chinese revolution and Chinese diplomacy.
