Author Description

" Inside Red China, by the good-looking wife of Edgar Snow (Red Star Over China), describes four months spent in Yenan, former headquarters of the Chinese Soviet Republic (now the "Frontier Districts of Shensi, Kansu and Ningsia") and the Red Army (now the Eighth Route Army). Written a year after her husband brought out his sensational account of the Chinese Soviets, her book duplicates much of the material in his, but is more personalized, has more to say about the women leaders who survived the epochal 6,000-mile "Long March" (when the Communists retreated in 1934 from South China to the Northwest)."/ TIME CNN
