Note(s) : " ... these deftly edited views from the outside make up one great story: the history
of Communist China. More than a history of one damned thing happening after another,
this is a history of perceptions, lies, myths, and revelations, as much about China
as her rulers wish it to be seen as about those who have chosen to see China, more
and sometimes less clearly, over the last half century. (Ian Buruma, author of Bad
Elements: Chinese Rebels from Los Angeles to Beijing) The opening of China to the
world, and then of the world to China, is one of modern history's most consequential
stories. That story is told in a fresh, innovative fashion in this insightful collection
of personal experiences related by a distinguished collection of historians, diplomats,
journalists, political writers, and others who ventured behind the Bamboo Curtain
early on. Leading the way are disillusioned leftists stunned by the horrors of the
Cultural Revolution and Mao's Great Leap Forward. They gradually give way to knowing
observers of a tumultuous society determined to become once again a world power. Their
accounts form an impressionistic vision of epochal change taking place on the gallop.
