In Red China today, Edgar Snow returns to the country HE described in Red star over China, and in a detailed and absorbing survey shows it developing under communist rule through "enormous Difficulties" toward nuclear power. For this New Pelican edition the author has substantially revised his "vast, Panoramic survey", which "has the Advantage of a long perspective and of a true knowledge of conditions in China in the past. His Book can be recommended as much the most Honest and sympathetically written account of What change in China means in actual relief of Human suffering and not just in the material Sense, but in relief from the misrule which China has suffered as Far back as Living memory went. His Book Ranges Far and Wide in range and space, often Recalling the past and analysing the present, interspersed with racy descriptions.
