Snow Edgar Boeken
17 juli 1905 – 15 februari 1972
Edgar P. Snow was een Amerikaanse journalist, bekend om zijn geschriften over het Chinese communisme en de revolutie. Hij wordt erkend als de eerste westerse journalist die de Chinese communistische leider Mao Zedong interviewde. Zijn beroemdste werk beschrijft de Chinese communistische beweging vanaf de oprichting tot het einde van de jaren dertig. Snow richtte zich op de politieke en sociale ontwikkelingen in China, en bood met zijn verslagen een uniek perspectief op deze cruciale historische periode.
The first Westerner to meet Mao Tse-tung and the Chinese Communist leaders in 1936, Edgar Snow came away with the first authorized account of Mao’s life, as well as a history of the famous Long March and the men and women who were responsible for the Chinese revolution. Out of that experience came Red Star Over China, a classic work that remains one of the most important books ever written about the birth of the Communist movement in China. This edition includes extensive notes on military and political developments in China, further interviews with Mao Tse-tung, a chronology covering 125 years of Chinese revolution, and nearly a hundred detailed biographies of the men and women who were instrumental in making China what it is today.
