Last Boat Out of Shanghai: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Fled Mao's Revolution, (Paperback)

from hemlokgang

This historical biography is most likely of interest to those unfamiliar with the transition in China to Mao's revolution and the massive effort of many Chineses to flee the country. It is well-written and informative, if not great reading.

from WaltNoise

Excellent account of individuals caught up in the tumultous events of Shanghai during the 20th century. The book does not present a comprehensive overview of the Sino-Japanese War, World War II, or the Chinese Revolution, but it brings these events to life for thse familiar with them.
