Edgar Snow worked in China as a journalist from 1928 to 1941. In 1936, Snow travelled to the remote interior of China to find the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party. The Red Army had just completed their "Long March" of 6,000 miles. In 1937, Snow published "Red Star Over China", the first Western account of that epic retreat. It is one of the classic books of Modern Chinese history.

"Edgar Snow's China" was published in 1981 by his widow, Lois Wheeler Snow. It is a personal account of the Chinese Revolution compiled from the writings of Edgar Snow. As a text, it is an uneven compilation of Snow's work. I would not recommend the book for someone who knows nothing of Chinese history. However, what makes this book so valuable are the 450 photos that Snow and his friends took during the 1930-40's. For anyone interested in this period, these photos are an invaluable visual addition to the history books. Highly recommended.
