A book that is historical,filled with suspense, politics and the results of the infamous uprising in China and massacre in Tiananmen Square in 1989. I know I should be reviewing this book in itself, but as a bystander, so to speak, I would like to include the following: I worked at the University of British Columbia in the 1980s, and a contingent of some of the professors I worked with had just left for China. They arrived in their hotel just as the massacre began. It was terrible and they were trapped and witnesses to the event. I will never forget the fear of maybe never getting my professors out of China safely. One in particular in the group had never been to China before. This uprising cast itself upon many unwary people who found themselves in the same situation from many countries. I am sure as if I were there that this book would include the terror, fear and death I remember seeing on TV and knowing that our university was frantically trying to bring back our professors. I will rewrite this review when I can reread the book. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
