Reviews
'Dennis Blasko has written the definitive study of China's ground forces, but this book also illuminates many other aspects of China's military today. The author brings to this assessment a career worth of knowledge and experience in the U.S. Army, as a specialist on the Chinese military. Few, if any, know the Chinese army better than Blasko. His judgements are careful and nuanced, his research and sources are thorough, and his presentation is comprehensive--all necessary correctives to the frequent media hype on the subject. A 'must read' for anyone seeking to understand the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and its impact on Asian security and U.S. national security interests.' - David Shambaugh, George Washington University, USA 'Probably the most complete, best referenced and most accurate analysis available of the ground forces of the PLA ... It should be part of the library of any scholar or analyst of the Chinese military.'- The China Journal 'Blasko's book is an authoritative primer on the PLA for national security professionals. His background as an Army intelligence officer and China foreign area officer, and his intimate knowledge of primary sources enable him to provide thoughtful analysis. His book should be on every PACOM officer's 'must read' list.'- Military Review 'This is an excellent introduction to the PLA and can serve as a starting point for any scholar interested in China's modern military. It will also be an excellent tool for orienting professionals who may be working in the area. ..The Chinese Army Today makes a valuable contribution to the challenging area of PLA studies.'
