Condition of Hardback Book: Very Good. It has no dust jacket. Previous owners name written on page 1. Photo attached HARRISON FORMAN is known primarily as an enterprising and proficient, photographer, and as a narrator of colorful travel experiences. He is not the most penetrating or sophisticated political reporter among the Americans in China, but, like all correspondents who have been exposed to the Chinese Ministry of Information’s positive and negative methods of thought-control and fact-censorship, he has developed an unmistakable tenacity in holding on to such facts as he is able to turn up for himself, and a stubborn resistance to being spoon-fed with bogus news by propaganda agents. Mr. Forman tells what he has to tell straightforwardly, and what he has to say is on the whole convincing. The reporting is colorful; people come alive and walk across the pages, talking about, strange and fascinating but always human and credible experiences. Mr. Forman is sometimes slapdash in his handling of ideas; but he has a wonderful feel for people and the things that happen to people. The land through which he travels is the never never land of the deep loess, which no one who has been there ever forgets, the oldest land in China. 247pp.…
