Red Star over China was one of the few direct sources on the Chinese revolution and the first experience of a Western journalist in the Soviet pre-communist China. The book, written in 1938 is the result of a journey through the red clusters and the knowledge of the revolutionary leaders made a long series of detailed personal descriptions and interviews. Among the most important interviews, there is no doubt that Mao Zedong in which, reluctantly, he talks about his personal history and past and future success of the programs of the Red Army.
undoubtedly an important book for beginners and sinologists, to be read with great critical sense given his enthusiastic and deployed content, compared with recent studies on the life of Mao-free, probably, that abandonment of idealism that characterized the news of the Chinese peasant revolution in the years before and after the Second World War. Finding
Red Star over China is not easy, because the latest edition (According to my information) dates back to 1970 (Series: New Universal Einaudi, translated by Renata Pisu, introduction of Colotti-Pischel Enrica), must arm themselves with patience and then search the internet or some junk.
