Lecture No. 0032

China, cont’d

Lecture by Prof. Harvey Goldberg on modern China. Covers the second phase of the Chinese Civil War (1945-49) through Communist victory on the mainland and Chiang Kai-shek’s flight to Taiwan. Click below for text transcriptions and audio from the HGC’s official YouTube channel.

NOTE: Reflecting Goldberg’s own pronunciation of Chinese terms and the texts he would have referenced in the 1970s, transcripts use Wade-Giles romanization rather than Pinyin throughout (e.g., Peking for Beijing, Mao Tse-tung for Mao Zedong, etc.).
