Foundation of the Chinese Communist Party - History of China Podcast Lazlo Montgomery

One of the most significant events in the history of the twentieth century was the foundation of the Chinese Communist Party.  This podcast gives you the background to why it happened and some of the characters involved.  It works pretty well as a stand alone episode if you aren't that interested in the whole of Chinese history.  But if you are, there are now 50 podcasts in this series to work through so you won't be short of listening.
