Stranger in China Tapa dura - 1973

New York: William Morrow & Company, Inc., 1973. A Canadian family tells what it is really like to be living in today's China- a view you will not get from other books. From the professional point of view of the capable newsman, and from the personal viewpoint of a father and husband living with his wife and small daughter in a country alien to them politically and culturally, Colin McCullough gives us a portrait of the life of these strangers transplanted to Peking during the last phases of the Cultural Revolution. It is a picture rich in background and in detail: the government bureaucracy, the adjustments of family life, the excesses of the Red Guards, the destruction of the British embassy, looking in on conflict in an ancient culture, a new society in turmoil. Illustrated with b/w photos.. Price-intact photo dust jacket. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good.
