Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. B&W Photographs (illustrator). First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Previous owners name and date to inside cover. Wear and a couple of tears to D/J. price clipped to D/J. What kind of people are these 800,000,000? From the outside we see the mystique of Chairman Mao, the Red Guards and the Cultural Revolution but how does the ordinary man and woman live, work, and cope with the bombardment of internal propaganda. The author tells in this book of his 7,000 miles of travel inside China. Familiar with the country from an earlier visit in 1964 and fluent in Chinese. Terrill talked with people in town and country, to writers, scientists and diplomats. He aparticipated in a long and interesting discussion with Premier Chou En-lai and, above all, he brings a powerful yet still mysterious nation brilliantly into the focus of the ordinary reader. In the light of Ross Terrill's book every piece of news about China, every move of the newly-elected member of the United Nations takes on a new siginificance and can be studied with a new awareness. Maps and twelve pages of photographs by the author. 235 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
