New York [1981], McGraw-Hill. Black cloth spine over boards, dj., 458p., index, notes, appendix, small rubber stamp top of signatures balance clean, 17 b.w. photos. A penetrating look at the astonishing developments in China since the death of Premier Zhou Enlai in 1976. This is an eyewitness report of these major events. The author was on Tiananmen Square when angry crowdes rioted, defying the will of Mao & his followers. He spent hundreds of hours at Demo- cracy Wall in 1978-9 when young Chinese felt free to speak their minds. He talked long house with Wei Jingsheng & other leaders of the movement for democracy & human rights. He ob- seved Chairman Hua Guofeng & Vice-Chairman Deng Xiaoping at close quarters and tracked the changes in every field of policy. An excellent primary narrative & political analysis. .
