London, England Copyright © 1973, by The Regents of the University of California Paperback Edition 1975 ISBN 0-520-02907-0 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 75-170722 Printed in the United States of America Designed by Jean Peters This book is dedicated to the three men whose influence shaped it most: my father, Frederic Wakeman my teacher, Joseph R. Levenson my friend, Irwin Scheiner Acknowledgments This book was written while I received sabbatical and research funds from the Center for Chinese Studies of the University of California, Berkeley and from the American Council of Learned Societies. My research assistants, Jonathan Grant and Edward Hammond, provided me with both materials and an opportunity to discuss some of the issues dealt with here. Carolyn Grant, who edited the original versions of the manuscript with such a keen eye, comes close to deserving a collabora- tor's place on the title page, because so many of her thematic sugges- tions are reflected in the contents. My colleague, John Starr, generously offered invaluable documentary help with many of the Mao papers. I am also very grateful to those members of the Chinese history colloquia at Stanford University, of the Institute of International Affairs at the University of Washington, and of the Research Scholars Group at Berkeley who read and discussed portions of the manuscript. Finally, I owe particular thanks to those fellow scholars who so helpfully scruti- nized the first draft: Ch'en Shih-hsiang, Jack Dull, David Keightley, Angus McDonald, Nicholas Riasanovsky, Moss Roberts, Irwin Scheiner, Tu Wei-ming, Jonathan Unger, Frederic Wakeman, Sr., and Judith Whitbeck.
