review:
Important, I suppose, and somewhat interesting. The timeline of events around the Tienanmen Square massacre was particularly significant, and reasonably readable. But the book gets repetitive and somewhat overwhelmed by the personal politics of 80s/90s China. If I were a scholar of Chinese politics & history, I’d be all over it. But, being me, I took it back to the library w/out finishing.
