Chapter Three lays out Mao Zedong’s determination to build a revolutionary army. Party policy at the time argued for mobilizing the masses and the party leadership thought that Mao’s approach was too militaristic. Mao and Zhu De came into conflict over the scope of party control, and Mao was voted out. Zhou Enlai backed Mao, and he was restored to his position. The chapter ends with the Gutian Conference, at which Mao asserted his dominance over the military.
