The Chinese Military System: An Organizational Study of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army
SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED
Harvey W. Nelsen
To understand the Chinese military, and thereby the dynamics of Chinas peacetime army, one must understand its organizational system. To that end, Harvey Nelsen has written a book that examines in detail the entire organization of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). Dr. Nelsen studies the PLA from top to bottom. Throughout, he challenges the widely held theory that military politics in China are largely determined by personal relations among officers and that the PLA is more a civic-action army than are most military organizations. Important as a purely military study, this book is valuable also for the light it sheds on the whole of Chinese bureaucratic politics.
This second edition has been revised to reflect changes that have occurred since the death of Chairman Mao as well as to incorporate new information about the Chinese military and political system during Maos reign.
Harvey Nelsen is currently an associate professor in the International Studies Program at the University of South Florida. He holds a doctorate in modern Chinese history from George Washington University and has published numerous articles in the field of contemporary Chinese military affairs.

The editorial cutoff date for the first edition was September 1976, the last changes incorporating Maos passing. By early 1980, the first printing was exhausted. Rather than simply running off a second printing, Westview Press suggested that I prepare a revised and updated version. I readily agreed, thinking that the job could be easily done and quickly accomplished. Six months, well over 100 pages of revisions, and an oft-rewritten Epilogue later, my expectations proved ill-founded. This second edition has been revised quite beyond the initial plans of the author or the press. The updating has also enabled me to eliminate several errors in the first edition that were called to my attention.
