Book
The first comprehensive analytical treatment of warlordism in twentieth-century China, this book approaches regional militarism as a historic phenomenon of Chinese politics in the very complex and chaotic era of recent Chinese history. After describing the emergence of militarist factions after the death of Yuan Shih-k’ai in 1916, the author analyzes their membership, recruiting capabilities, and sources of cohesion, the process presenting new information on their organization, methods of recruitment, quality of training, types of weapons, tactical and strategic concepts, and means of financing. On the strengths of this information, he offers a convincing explanation in balance-of-power terms for the baffling advances, retreats, clashes, and changes of allegiance that have puzzled students of the era. His analysis makes clear how the leading warlords viewed the state, themselves, and each other. A concluding chapter presents an explanation based on systems theory for Kuomingtang’s triumph over the warlords who had sought to confine its domain to Kwang-tng. The author has included as appendixes, the chronology of events and lists of national leaders and provincial military authorities from 1916 to 1928. Hsi-sheng Ch’i is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina.
