Through detailed research and analysis, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of the complex forces at play during this pivotal period in Chinese history. The Fight For The Republic In China is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of China and its political evolution.With the Parliament of China effectively destroyed, and the turbulent Yangtsze Valley dragooned into sullen submission, Yuan Shih-kai's task had become so vastly simplified that he held the moment to have arrived when he could openly turn his hand to the problem of making himself absolutely supreme, de jure as well as de facto. But there was one remaining thing to be done. To drive the last nail into the coffin of the Republic it was necessary to discredit and virtually imprison the man who was Vice-President.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
