To understand the Chinese military, and thereby the dynamics of China's peacetime army, one must understand its organizational system. To that end, Harvey Nelsen has written a book that examines in detail the entire organization of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). Dr. Nelsen studies the PLA from top to bottom.
