A Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party

"This ingenious attempt to explain the mysteries of Chinese politics to Western readers has two unusal features...a kaleidoscope of photographic images for which [the author's] lucid text serves as a kind of continuous caption. ...It provides as vivid a sense of the complexities of Maoist China as any book yet published. ...should help to clarify the traditinal image of China in the American mind, an image that has often swung capriciously from sentimental enthusiasm to angry disappointment and back again" Richard Bernstein; TIME Magazine, September 6, 1976
