5.0 out of 5 stars What you don't see in the media?, 3 Mar 2006

By	"mmcasker" - See all my reviews

Put down your latte and your laptop, get your fingers dirty and spend some time learning about the 900 million people who represent the faceless majority. Sure beats picking up the latest handout at the State Council Information Office.

This is the true story of two men, a Brit and an Aussie, retracing the Red Army's footsteps and recording the experiences of
the last-remaining witnesses and participants of the Long March. Although, the oral history predominates, they also offer some fresh contemporary insights based on their own bizarre experiences.
As Jonathan Fenby said, they offer a picture of a China rarely seen by foreigners, "warts and all". For example, it's
pretty amazing that they were only arrested twice?
This is so important because I'm tired of reading reports about the "hot" "new" "China economic miracle".
I keep reading about the crass spending habits of the 1 percent of the 1 percent (educated, rich Shanghainese) and this is somehow supposed to represent the changes going on inside this vast and diverse nation. But as you may know, China is not a nation of 1.3 billion customers.
Can't wait for the 'photographic diary' to be released.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 5 Mar 2006

By	Ralph Milliband (Harlow, Essex) - See all my reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a great way to understand how arduous the Long March was. Our two Westerners set out to emulate Mao, meeting survivors from the original march on the way.
A fascinating insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, 30 April 2006

By	S. Law - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didn't know very much about chinese recent history when I read this book, but I found it entertaining, and informative on 2 levels. The first being simply the details of the Long march and internal polotics of the Maoist faction. The second being how modern day rural China reacts to Westerners.
(And a very interesting section on Mao's Lost daughter)
