The strength of this book is the groundbreaking events Belden was able to witness. It's an on-the-ground look at the Chinese Revolution in process, with a much broader scope than say Fanshen, and it's great and inspiring as hell. The narrative is much weaker though when he relies upon second-hand accounts, which often come across as much less plausible. And the (relatively few until the last chapter) times he writes his own viewpoints and opinions it descends into the liberalism and Orientalism

This is the second time that I read this book. I thought it so fantastic.
It is a very detailed description of China 1946-1949. It shows why the revolution just had to happen and why it was a good thing that it did happen.
It's fantastic grass roots research and an amazing time to be in China.
At the end of this period many tyrants have left the stage and people again have hope. Also China finally became independent again.

Aku punya buku terjemahannya (Terbitan Van Houten, Bandung). Terbitan tahun jadul. Buku ini berkisah tentang seorang (wartawan?) yang pergi ke China daratan pada masa revolusi. Dia mencatat sekelumit tentang kisah perjalanannya selama disana. Sudah lama bacanya sekitar tahun awal 2001. Jadi lupa-lupa ingat :-D
