Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides an analysis of rectification campaigns and high level elite purges during the 1950-65 period; a broad examination of the norms shaping inner Party life generally and their decline in the pre-Cultural Revolution period; and a major reinterpretation of key developments in and the nature of elite conflict at the Politboro level from 1949 to 1965. While this edition presents the same text as the first edition of 1979, an extensive (55-page) new introduction offers Teiwes's reflections on the interpretations and arguments of the study which have been stimulated by the materials that have subsequently become available.
