Context

Written by a former foreign correspondent based in Eastern Europe and China. Meticulously researched, sensitive and based on historical facts, it is a fictional account if modern China's difficult birth process and the factors that influenced it - beginning in 1921, covering the horrors of the Long March and Cultural Revolution, and ending with the death of Mao Tse Tung in 1978. Essential reading for understanding the complexities of the rise of the People's Republic of China. (Review by Megan Wallens, full review in book.)
