西路军史很长时间里是中共党史研究中的一个复杂问题,回顾这一研究过程,政治和学术的关系以及党史研究者如何处理这一关系,成为党史研究的首要问题。党史研究的党性和科学性归结于实事求是,因而必须以马克思主义为指导、以文献资料为基础,努力寻求历史的真相。 For a long time, the military history of the Western Route Army was a complicated issue in the study of the history of the CPC. Reviewing the research process, the relationship between politics and academia, and how the party’s history researchers dealt with it became the primary issue in the study of the history of the party. The party spirit and scientific nature of the study of the history of the party are due to seeking truth from facts. Therefore, we must, under the guidance of Marxism, make efforts to seek the truth of history on the basis of the documents and materials.
