Summary:

A revealing exploration of political disruption and violence in a rural Chinese county during the Cultural Revolution. 'A Decade of Upheaval' chronicles the surprising and dramatic political conflicts of a rural Chinese county over the course of the Cultural Revolution. Drawing on an unprecedented range of sources - including work diaries, interviews, internal party documents, and military directives - Dong Guoqiang and Andrew Walder uncover a previously unimagined level of strife in the countryside that began with the Red Guard Movement in 1966 and continued unabated until the death of Mao Zedong in 1976.
