In a play-by-play account of the elite politics that led to the military crackdown, Yang Su addresses the repression of the protest in the context of political leadership succession. Beneath the political drama, "Deadly Decision in Beijing" explores the authoritarian regime's perpetual crisis of leadership transition and its impact on popular movements.
