A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Yan'an is China's "revolutionary holy land," the heart of Mao Zedong's Communist movement from 1937 to 1947. Based on thirty years of archival and documentary research and numerous field trips to the region, Joseph W. Esherick's book examines the origins of the Communist revolution in Northwest China, from the political, social, and demographic changes of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), to the intellectual ferment of the early Republic, the guerrilla movement of the 1930s, and the replacement of the local revolutionary leadership after Mao and the Center arrived in 1935. In Accidental Holy Land, Esherick compels us to consider the Chinese Revolution not as some inevitable peasant response to poverty and oppression, but as the contingent product of local, national, and international events in a constantly changing milieu.

On December 31, 1584 the Treaty of Joinville was signed between the Guises and Spain. Philip of Spain undertook to pay the Guises 50,000 écus per month so long as they made war in France to exterminate the Protestant religion and to place the Cardinal of Bourbon on the throne. This pamphlet states the reasons for the alliance of the Cardinal, prelates, and all good Christians against the Huguenots. They accuse the Protestants of subverting the religion of France and destroying the realm. Because the Protestants have raised armies, because by corruption they have taken money from the King's treasury, and because the Protestants have caused the government to fall into shambles, the Cardinal de Bourbon has allied himself to others to oppose the Protestants in whatever way necessary. ; Electronic reproduction; 16 p. ; 17 cm.
