Review:
" It took three and a half years for Brook to collect the pieces of this tragic puzzle. The result: a unique and vigorous study that does not try to find out ' who was wrong and who was right, ' but concentrates on simple facts." -- "Liberation" (Paris)
" The author has done a magnificent job of reconstructing the military mobilization in Beijing and the role of the People' s Liberation Army in the bloody suppression of the Chinese people' s movement. . . . A moving book that vividly displays the extraordinary bravery of the residents of Beijing." -- "Pacific Affairs"
" The author skillfully weaves eyewitness accounts into a smoothly flowing narrative. Two maps of Beijing assist the reader in following the actions described, and there is a seful chronology of events. The work should interest both generalists and specialists, and spans the disciplines of history, political science, and sociology." -- "The China Quarterly"
