Reviews

This is a remarkable book, and a testament to the author's longtime pre-eminence in covering the issue. I wholeheartedly recommend China's Entrepreneurial Army to anyone interested in Chinese military affairs, civil-military relations, or corruption. The China Quarterly An outstanding piece of scholarship on a difficult yet fascinating subject ... The strengths of this book lie in the author's unparalleled access to the inner workings of the military commercial economy ... displays great analytical and theoretical depth. The China Quarterly
