COMING ALIVE: SOULS OF CHINA

In this review of The Souls of China in The Spectator, Roger Garside writes that I “skilfully relates his vivid reportage to the wider political and social context.”

The review means a lot to me personally because Garside wrote one of the most influential books on China in the 1980s. Coming Alive: China After Mao relates episodes at the end of the Mao period and the amazing takeoff that occurred after.
