The first thorough account of a formative and little understood chapter in Chinese history   A superb history of Chinas transition into and out of the Cultural Revolution. . . . Chen and Westadtwo of the best archival historians of Communist China writing todaycoolly but vividly recount the extraordinary drama of this metamorphosis.Julia Lovell, Financial Times   Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian chronicle how an impoverished and terrorized China experienced radical political changes in the long 1970s and how ordinary people broke free from the beliefs that had shaped their lives during Maos Cultural Revolution. These changes, and the unprecedented and sustained economic growth that followed, transformed China and the world.   In this rigorous account, Westad and Chen construct a panorama of catastrophe and progress in China. They chronicle Chinas gradual opening to the worldthe interplay of power in an era of aged and ailing leadership, the peoples rebellion against the earlier government system, and the roles of unlikely characters: overseas Chinese capitalists, American engineers, Japanese professors, and German designers. This is a story of revolutionary change that neither foreigners nor the Chinese themselves could have predicted.

A superb history of Chinas transition into and out of the Cultural Revolution. . . . Chen and Westadtwo of the best archival historians of Communist China writing todaycoolly but vividly recount the extraordinary drama of this metamorphosis.Julia Lovell, Financial Times

By choosing to begin with Maos final years, Messrs. Westad and Chen build a strong case for their account of how and why events played out after the leaders death.Maura Elizabeth Cunningham, Wall Street Journal

[ A] compelling book by two of the best historians of the modern Chinese experience.Tony Barber, Financial Times

Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian make an effective partnership. . . . [ They] expertly and authoritatively cover events inside and outside China during a momentous time in the countrys history.Kerry Brown, Literary Review

The Great Transformation offers a rich and nuanced interpretation of the long 1970s as a critical turning point in modern Chinese history.Stefan Messingschlager, Neue Politische Literatur

To understand todays China and where it may be going it is necessary to understand how it got to herethe politics, the pressures, the trade-offs, and legacy of the The Long 1970s. You can do no better in this regard than start by reading The Great Transformation.Martin Petersen, The Cipher

Westad and Chen have written a masterful account of Chinas modernization that illuminates the path it took to emerge as Americas only true peer competitor.Graham Allison, author of Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydidess Trap?

In The Great Transformation, Odd Arne Westad and Chen Jian ask a fresh question: How did the Peoples Republic of China emerge from the lunacies of the Cultural Revolution and embark on the path to prosperitya market-based industrialization that prior to 1978 would have been denounced as the capitalist road? Deeply researched and clearly written, this new account of a transformative period gives due weight to the local and international forces at workas well as to the roads not taken, which might have been more liberal politically but less effective economically.Niall Ferguson, author of Civilization: The West and the Rest and Kissinger, 19231968: The Idealist
