Review this book!
This modern history of China is told through the eyes of a few Chinese intellectuals. A scholar, a doctor, and a writer/political activist are the three major figures whose "lives will serve to introduce the reader to the extraordinary sequence of events that are often loosely dumped together as constituting the 'Chinese revolution.'" (from the Introduction)
