The history of military forces, artifacts, personalities and techniques of warfare
The Chinese People's Liberation Army since 1949: Ground Forces
This book is a detailed briefing on the history, organization, and uniforms of one of the largest and most important armies in the world, the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Known for its 1940s guerrilla origins and the costly mass attacks of the Korean War, the PLA was both awe-inspiring and mystifying to the West. However, the reforms that have taken place in the past 30 years have entirely transformed the organization, doctrine, and capabilities of the PLA. Dressed in a computer-generated camouflage outfit and, equipped with the latest tactical vest rig, body armor, and assault weapons, the PLA soldier has now taken his place alongside the most modern troops in the world. Illustrated with rare photos and detailed artwork, this book follows the PLA ground forces from Korea, through clashes with the USSR and three Vietnamese wars, to today's participation in multinational missions -and from the "Máo cap" and canvas shoes to the special-forces beret and sleeve patches.
