Product Description

"On July 1st, 1966, the Second Artillery Force (currently the PLA Rocket Force) was formally established, whose name was personally given by the then premier Zhou Enlai, which is later called by people China's Strategic Missile Corps. In the National Day military parade in 1984, the Second Artillery Force shocked the world. Yet behind such a strong army, there must have been thousands of selfless heroes contributing silently, like many family members of the soldiers and officials gave up their jobs in cities, and followed their husbands to the plateau, gobi and valleys, living there for the whole life... This book takes us into the glorious years and displays a panorama of the initial stage of China's Strategic Missile Corps. The first generation of missile staff devoted themselves into the undertaking of missiles in the situations comparable to primitive mountains. These unknown touching stories behind the missile corps are a silent call to cherish world peace! "
