The lives of the Ye family-"Ye" means "leaf" in Chinese-reveal the human side of the large-scale events that shaped modern China: the vast and destructive rebellions of the nineteenth century, the economic growth and social transformation of the republican era, the Japanese invasion during World War II, and the Cultural Revolution under the Chinese Communists. Joseph W. Esherick draws from rare manuscripts and archival and oral history sources to provide an uncommonly personal and intimate glimpse into Chinese family history, illuminating the changing patterns of everyday life during rebellion, war, and revolution.HISTORY / Asia / GeneralbisacshChinaHistoryChinaBiographyChinaGenealogy14th century.19th century.ancestors.asian biography.biographical.china.chinese communists.chinese history.chinese rebellions.chinese.cultural revolution.economic growth.everyday life.family history.family lines.historical nonfiction.history buffs.japanese invasion.modern china.modern history.nonfiction.oral histories.personal history.republican era.social history.social transformation.war and revolution.warfare.world war ii.wwii.ye family.HISTORY / Asia / General.929.20951929/.20951951Esherick Joseph Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut242448DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910785570603321Ancestral leaves3831068UNINA03232nam 22005533 450 991015432030332120241107102035.00-7860-3893-4(CKB)3710000000971472(MiAaPQ)EBC5817189(Au-PeEL)EBL5817189(OCoLC)967621124(BIP)055235454(ODN)ODN0002830077(EXLCZ)99371000000097147220210901d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierField of Fire2016New York :Pinnacle Books,2016.©2016.1 online resource (264 pages)A Jericho Quinn Thriller ;v.70-7860-3892-6 Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Dedication -- Epigraph -- Prologue -- PART I - CONSPIRE -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Chapter 21 -- Chapter 22 -- Chapter 23 -- Chapter 24 -- Chapter 25 -- Chapter 26 -- Chapter 27 -- Chapter 28 -- Chapter 29 -- Chapter 30 -- Chapter 31 -- PART II - ACQUIRE -- Chapter 32 -- Chapter 33 -- Chapter 34 -- Chapter 35 -- Chapter 36 -- Chapter 37 -- Chapter 38 -- Chapter 39 -- Chapter 40 -- Chapter 41 -- Chapter 42 -- Chapter 43 -- Chapter 44 -- Chapter 45 -- Chapter 46 -- Chapter 47 -- Chapter 48 -- Chapter 49 -- PART III - FIRE -- Chapter 50 -- Chapter 51 -- Chapter 52 -- Chapter 53 -- Chapter 54 -- Chapter 55 -- Chapter 56 -- Chapter 57 -- Chapter 58 -- Chapter 59 -- Chapter 60 -- Chapter 61 -- Chapter 62 -- Chapter 63 -- Epilogue -- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS -- Teaser Chapter -- ABOUT THE AUTHOR.The first target is Dallas, Texas. A deadly nerve gas called New Archangel is unleashed upon the City of Angels, claiming innocent lives, spreading nationwide panic, and fueling global fears of another attack. In the icy reaches of rural Alaska, special agent Jericho Quinn is enlisted to hunt down the man who created the bioweapon--a brilliant Russian scientist who is trying to defect and hiding in the Alaskan wilderness. But time is running out. The scientist is beginning to lose his mind to dementia.
