 Isaac Taylor Headland, who did many useful translations
in the early 20th century, provides readers with yet another glimpse
into Chinese society of the time. Rules of
Behaviour for Children, is an intimate excursion into Home
Life in China (from which this translation was taken). Headland's
work is superb for its examination of ordinary lives.
 This
Marxist classic, Socialism:
Utopian and Scientific, by Frederick Engels, is the
1975 Peking edition. Extremely useful for understanding the underpinnings
of China's official socialist ideology.
Today's polemics are tomorrow's
historical documents. This important document, "On the
Question of Stalin", by the Communist Party of China,
is highly critical of the USSR -- an indication of the seriousness
of the rift between the world's two largest and most important Communist
parties.
 This is an extremely interesting
book written by two Chinese Army officers: Unrestricted
Warfare .
(Beijing: PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House, 1999). Qiao
Liang and Wang Xiangsui
provide a Chinese understanding of such concepts as information
war as well as a detailed and very astute analysis of US military
strategy and tactics.

purpose: a critical analysis of Confucianism.

Rebellion is a synthetic book composed of US Navy and US
