Following the second Sino-Japanese War, China lay in ruins politically and militarily. This program follows the internal conflict between the Communist People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (the Kuomintang). Civil war ignites in 1946, setting the stage for the Communist Revolution that will transform and modernise China, though at a great and tragic human cost.
