Red star over China: the classic account of the birth of Chinese Communism

The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with the first authorised account of Mao's life, as well as a history of the famous Long March and the men and women who were responsible for the Chinese revolution.

Out of that experience came 'Red Star Over China', a classic work that remains one of the most important books ever written about the birth of the Communist movement in China.
