This is an ambitious comparative study of regime consolidation in the 'revolutionary' People's Republic of China and the 'conservative' Republic of China (Taiwan) in the years following the communist victory on mainland China in 1949. Strauss sheds new light on twentieth-century political change and state formation in East Asia.
