Though he is a grizzled old soldier, he shares the firmly held belief of Mao and Chou that the army must always be subordinate to the Communist Party. Yeh once told Henry Kissinger that he had never dreamed that the Chinese revolution would come so far. Although Yeh's advanced age is an obstacle...
