Originally titled Assignment China, this book portrays life in China as Mao's new revolutionary government came to power. These are the author's observations as a working reporter.
"One of the most absorbing books that have been written about China by on-the-spot observers since 1949."
St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Excellent reportage of the Koumintang collapse and Communist takeover. Suprisingly relevant today."
St. Louis Post Dispatch
"It is fortunate for those who wish to know how it was in China during the momentous years from 1948 through 1953 that Second Chance Press reprinted this book."
