Xinjiang and the Expansion of Chinese Communist Power available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Xinjiang, China's far northwestern province where the majority of the population are Muslim Uyghurs, was for most of its history contested territory. On the Silk Road, a region of overlapping cultures, the province was virtually independent until the late nineteenth century, nominally part of the Qing Empire, with considerable interest taken in it by the British and the Russians as part of their Great Game rivalry in Asia. Ruled by warlords in the early twentieth century, it was occupied in 1949-50 by the People's Liberation Army, since when attempts have been made to integrate the province more fully into China. This book outlines the history of Xinjiang. It focuses on the key city of Kashgar, the symbolic heart of Uighur society, drawing on a large body of records in which ordinary people provided information on the period around the communist takeover. These records provide an exceptionally rich source, showing how ordinary Uyghurs lived their everyday lives before 1949 and how those lives were affected by the arrival of the Chinese Communist Party and its army. Subjects covered by the book include Eastern Turkestan independence, regional politics, local government, the military, taxation, education and the press.

When Ians wife, Jade, is kidnapped during a drive-by shooting as they celebrate their first anniversary, his world changes forever. Twenty years later, there are still questions about her disappearance, and even his career as an independent assassin for the FBI has not brought him closer to solving the mysteryor ease the pain of missing her. Despite the intense focus on his work, he remains haunted by memories and the unknown. Was it a case of mistaken identity, or something more sinister? Meanwhile, evil flourishes in a world corrupted by sex, greed, and drugs in such exotic settings as Monaco, the Bahamas, and Marbella, where Ian carries out his jobs. But larger forces are at work, and one man, with a plan he has carefully put together over forty-two years, is in his own gruelling fight against time. The outcome sends drug barons spiralling into panic as their fortunes begin to tumble. But the planner himself, in addition to his pawns, is soon endangered, caught up in a game where betrayal and trust are intertwined. Someone is playing cloak-and-dagger and carelessly jeopardizing everything. When, where, and how it all ends becomes the million-dollar question, framed by the chilling words: If I die, the world you know will die with me. In a tale of intrigue set among Bentleys, yachts, diamonds, and endless cash, people and circumstances arent always what they seem.
