Enemies and Friends
Enemies and Friends: The United Front in Chinese Communist History is a 1967 book by Lyman P. Van Slyke, published by Stanford University Press. It discusses the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Background[edit]
The author did much of his research towards this book at University of California, Berkeley. Van Slyke used documents, which originated from China, located in Taiwan as sources.[1] Earl Browder of Princeton, New Jersey stated that not all of the sourcing available had been consulted for the work.[2]
Reception[edit]
Howard Boorman of Vanderbilt University stated that the work "adds an important stone on the path towards critical understanding of" the subject.[3]
Browder stated in a book review that the author successfully showed justifications for his positions with the sourcing he used,[2] and that the book is "formidable".[4]
