Red Star Over China: The Classic Account of the Birth of Chinese Communism
The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist
leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with the first authorized
account of Mao's life, as well as a history of the famous Long
March and the men and women who were responsible for the Chinese
revolution. Out of that experience came Red Star Over China, a
classic work that remains one of the most important books ever
written about the birth of the Communist movement in China. This
edition includes extensive notes on military and political
developments in China, further interviews with Mao Tse-tung, a
chronology covering 125 years of Chinese revolution, and nearly a
hundred detailed biographies of the men and women who were
instrumental in making China what it is today.
