Conclusion: Tiananmen and China's communist authoritarianism. 520 $a Three decades after 1989, historical materials are now available for understanding the Tiananmen protests in a new light. In a play-by-play account of the elite politics that led to the military crackdown, Su addresses the repression of the protest in the context of political leadership succession. He challenges conventional views that see the military intervention as a necessary measure against revolutionary mobilization. Beneath the political drama, Deadly Decision in Beijing explores the authoritarian regime's perpetual crisis of leadership transition and its impact on popular movements. 651 0 $a China $x History $y Tiananmen Square Incident, 1989. 651 0 $a China $x Politics and government $y 1976-2002. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781009325158 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202025303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE1A2D584D4311EEBB1CF29156ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
