About this title

Synopsis:

On June 4 1989, the world watched in horror as government troops opened fire on thousands of democracy campaigners in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. "Children of the Dragon: The Story of Tiananmen Square" is the first book to present the Chinese side of the story in the words of the student and pro-democracy leaders themselves. Created by Human Rights in China, an association of Chinese scientists, scholars and students formed to combat restrictions on civil liberties in China, "Children of the Dragon" includes never-before published photographs of the Tiananmen Square massacre and an oral history of the events - the death of Hu Yaobang, the hunger strike, the declaring of martial law - leading up to the June 4 crack-down.
