The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with the first authorized 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. This edition includes extensive notes on military and political developments in China, further interviews with Mao Tse-tung, a chronology covering 125 years of Chinese revolution, and nearly a hundred detailed biographies of the men and women who were instrumental in making China what it is today.

In the day of Marx and Engels it might have been correct to say that “the workers have no country,” but the Chinese Communists believed that, besides their own little bases of power, they had a mighty fatherland in the Soviet Union. “The Soviet Government in China,” read the Constitution adopted at the first All-China Soviet Congress, “declares its readiness to form a revolutionary united front with the world
at Shantung University (Tsingtao) Huang Ching was chief of the underground CCP CC propaganda department. There he met Chiang Ch’ing, who joined the Party (1933) just before Huang Ching was arrested and sentenced to death. Yu Ta-wei saved Huang’s life; after his release Huang went to Peking, where he again joined the CC propaganda department. He was, however, in deep hiding—in the North China Bureau, under Liu Shao-ch’i—before the December 9th student demonstration. At that time all patriotic

Foreign Minister Ch’en Yi publicly expresses doubts concerning value of Sino-Soviet military alliance; China may no longer count on Russian aid. Mao urges Japanese socialists to recover territories lost to Russia and criticizes Soviet “imperialism” for encroachments on Chinese territories.
