China Book Club: 'My China Years' by Helen Foster Snow

The 1930s and 40s were one of the mos fascinating periods in China's long history. Helen Foster Snow and her husband Edgar Snow were foreign friends of the Communist Party both before and after they got to power.

Toward the end of her life and with decades of hindsight, 'My China Years' intimately recounts those turbulent times. Her politics won't be everybody's cup of tea (she writes 'capitalism is now and has been impossible in China')
