Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement
Brook, Timothy. Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement. New York: Oxford University Press, 1992.
Why this matters here
Brook’s history documents the military suppression of the 1989 Beijing democracy movement and the fact of lethal force against civilians. When Authority Is Misread cites that record where Deng’s reform story meets June 1989. The source establishes crackdown history; the book’s dual reading of growth versus silenced reckoning is an After Certainty moral frame, not a claim that Brook alone settles casualty totals under censorship.
