American misperception of Edgar Snow and his reporting are a metaphor for the United States misunderstanding of China throughout the 20th century. Snow came from the world of Mark Twain and brought to his reporting a frontier nose for the truth and a strong commitment to honesty and justice. Herein, the author traces Dnow's progression from Kansas City, MO where he was born to his becoming a "citizen of the world," a self-description that captures both his unique experience abroad and his feeling of estrangement from the country that shaped his vision of the world. 343 pages including index. B&W photos. Dust jacket has a couple of mended tears as well as a crease where back side of jacket curves to wrap around spine; also light edge wear. Lovely copy overall. Seller Inventory # 009102
