China's
new
rulers
'the
secret
files' [English]
A.J.Nathan/B.Gilley;2003 NYRB; ISBN 1590170725
'At the chinese Communist party 16th congress in november 2002, a group of new leaders took over the world's most populous country. Their accession as the 'fourth generation'of rulers of the People's Republic signaled at the end of a long, complex struggle for power. China's new Rulers is an extradinaty account of a high level political drame that largly took place in secret. It contains the first insights into who will rule China, what changes they may bring to their country , and how they may act as international partners and competitors.'
The
Great Game 'The
stuggle
for
Empire
in
Central
Asia' [English]
Peter Hopkirk;1994 Kodansha Globe; ISBN 1568360223
'The great game between Vicotrian Britain and Tsarist Russia was fought across deolate terrain from the Caucasus to China, over the lonely passes of the Pamirs and Karakorams, in the balzing Kerman and Helmund deserts and through the caravan town of the old Solk Road - both powers scrambling to control access to the riches of India and the East. When the play first began the frontiers of Russia nd British India lay 2000 miles apart; by the end thsi diance had shrunk to twentu miles at some points. Based on the meticulous scholarship and on-the-spot research this is the history at the core of today geopolitics.'
Wild
Swans 'three daughters of China' [English]
Jung Chang;1991 Globalflair; ISBN 0385425473
Three generations women grow up in a rural China. As a daughter of parents which were (communist) party members the authobiography that Jung Chang wrote explains the political and cultural situation in China from 1909 till the mid '70s. It's a story, at once grim and appealing, about the survival of a Chinese family through a centery of disaster.
Mr.
China's
Son [English]
He Liyi;199 Westview; ISBN 081339790
He Liyi belongs to one of China's m"inorties, the Bai and he lives in a remote area of Yunnan Province. This authobiography recounts nearly all the major events of China's recent history, cincluding his own experience in the "reeducation through labor camp". This book revails the travails of the commmon person and village life under China's tempestuous Communist goverment, which mr. He ironically refers to as Mr. China. Yet he describes his saga pof poverty and hardship with humor and a suprising lack of bitterness. (Mr. Liyi has a Mr. China's Son Cultural Exchange Cafe in Dali, Yunann province, see also your Lonely Planet of China Dali section).
Silkroute by rail [English]
Dominic Streatfeild-James;1997 Trailblazer; ISBN 1-873756-14-3
The greatest trade route of all time. Traversing some of the most inaccessible lands on earth, the Silk Route stretched some 50000 mils west from the ancient Chinese capital, Chang’an (Xi’an), all the way to the Roman Empire.
… Travel on the silk route is as much of an adventure today as it was in the days of Marco Polo. … It is, therefore, now possible to travel between Moscow and Beijing on a new rail route. This guide shows you how to arrange your trip independently or with a group.
Foreign devils on the silk road; [English]
Peter Hopkirk; 1980 Oxford; ISBN 0-19-281487-7
"The
silk road, which linked imperial Rome and distant China was once the greatest
thoroughfare on earth. Along it travelled precious cargoes of silk, gold and
ivory, as well as revolutionary new ideas. Its oasis towns blossomed into
thriving centres of Buddhist art and learning. … Peter Hopkirk tells the story
of the intrepid men who, at great personal risk, led these long-range
archaeological raids, incurring the undying wrath of the Chinese."

King J. Mayhew B.; Lonely
Planet Publication; ISBN 0864425317
Cambodian witness, the autobiography of Someth May [English]
1986, Random House
"... his life took a dramatic turn when the Khmer Rouge invaded Phnom Penh and expelled the entire population from the city. May's family numbered 14 when he left the fallen city. Only four survived the savage rule of the Khmer Rouge. First, his father was taken away and brutally tortured to death at a "Re-education Centre." His father's only crime was in having been a doctor prior to the Khmer Rouge regime. May's brothers and sisters died one by one, some by execution, most by starvation and disease. (May's mother was out of the country when Phnom Penh fell.)
Life under the Khmer Rouge was a never-ending struggle to survive. May was ordered to spend weeks and months building dams on elevated ground where water would have to flow uphill in order to fill a reservoir. Later, another work detail might be ordered to dismantle the very dam May and others had labored to build. At other times, May would be assigned to plant rice in fields where it could not grow.
Each day began at five in the morning with a meager breakfast, followed by a half-hour meeting in which the same message to work harder was given day in and day out. Until noon, the New People would labor in the fields or work at building earthen dams. After a short lunch break, they labored till sunset. All this time, the Old People lounged about, supervising their "slave" laborers. The evenings were spent either in more meetings or back at work under the light of bonfires. Most days did not end until nearly midnight. As May notes: "The whole society was working at maximum -- and brutally enforced -- inefficiency."
Cambodian Witness is, to this reviewer's knowledge, the first autobiographical treatment of life under Khmer Rouge tyranny. It is a well-written and gripping account of man's inhumanity to man. But it is also a testimony of man's inherent will to survive and overcome the tyranny and brutality of Communism. "
