Morgenrood boven China
Hoe de communisten een kwart van de mensheid voor zich wonnenHét boek voor iedereen de geschiedenis van de twintigste eeuw wil begrijpenDe geschiedenis van het moderne China is lang afgeschilderd als een verhaal van communisten die geleidelijk de steun van het volk verwierven, door land van de rijken af te pakken en aan de armen te geven. Maar op basis van nieuw archiefmateriaal onthult Morgenrood boven China hoe onwaarschijnlijk de overwinning van de partij was geweest zonder steun van de Sovjet-Unie. Pas nadat Sovjettroepen in 1945 Mantsjoerije binnenvielen en voor meer geld en munitie zorgden, kregen de communisten de overhand.China-expert Frank Dikotter onthult in dit meeslepende verhaal hoe dertien afgevaardigden in 1949 de rode vlag boven de Verboden Stad hesen, waardoor de loop van de geschiedenis voor altijd veranderde en de wereld de vorm kreeg die we nu kennen.Frank Dikötter is sinds 2006 hoogleraar Humanistiek aan de universiteit van Hongkong. Voor die tijd was hij hoogleraar Moderne Chinese geschiedenis aan de universiteit van Londen. Hij schreef eerder een veelgeprezen trilogie over Mao en China, waarin hij een indringend beeld schetst van het Mao-tijdperk.

Red Dawn Over China
A FINANCIAL TIMES HIGHLIGHT FOR 2026 'The most important reappraisal of modern China to appear in years' PETER FRANKOPAN, author of The Silk Roads and The Earth TransformedFrom renowned, prize-winning historian Frank Dikötter - 'the historian of China' (Spectator) - a commanding new history of China's path to Communism, brought to the people at the barrel of a gun.The history of modern China has long been portrayed as a tale of Communists fighting in the hills for freedom, gradually gaining popular support by taking land from the rich and giving it to the poor. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Red Dawn Over China reveals how unlikely the Party's victory actually was, had it not been for financial and military support from the Soviet Union.Established in 1921 under the direct guidance of Moscow, for the best part of a decade the Communist Party left a trail of destruction, besieging towns and plundering the countryside. When the Communists managed to hold territory, they reduced the villagers to a state of servitude, undermining belief in their cause as well as the local economy. By 1936 they had the same popular appeal as an obscure religious sect. A brutal war of occupation by Japan allowed them to survive far behind enemy lines. After Soviet troops invaded Manchuria in 1945 and provided more money and munitions, the Communists at long last prevailed through a pitiless war of attrition, driven by an unflinching will to conquer at all costs.In this riveting tale told with great narrative verve, Frank Dikötter reveals how thirteen delegates gathered in a dusty room in 1921 ended up raising the red flag over the Forbidden City in 1949, forever altering the course of history for a quarter of humanity and shaping the world as we know it today.Praise for Frank Dikötter and the People's Trilogy:'Harrowing and brilliant' Ben Macintyre'Gripping and masterful' Simon Sebag Montefiore'One of the few books that anyone who wants to understand the twentieth century simply must read' New Statesman
