		While Snow’s interpretations of "the course of the Chinese revolution and his theorizing on the nature of [the] Chinese communist movement." left him somewhat subject to censure, he, for the most part, did an astounding job of presenting the facts.
		Snow delivered a priceless firsthand perspective of the unfolding of events in an ever-changing country, during a critical period.
		In Snow’s assessment of individuals such as Mao and General Chiang Kai-Shek, he almost seems overly generous in his dealings with Mao, and by the same token the reader is given the impression that the author lacks respect, or perhaps, just dislikes Chiang.

		Edgar Snow, the premier China correspondent, perhaps the premier foreign correspondent, of this century, often found himself caught between two emotional Chinas, one dark, one light.
		A year before Snow's arrival, much of the urban Communist leadership had been decimated in a bloody Nationalist massacre there, and the Marxists seemed to be in eclipse while Chiang Kaishek and assorted warlords maneuvered for control of the country.
		Similarly, when Snow revisited China in 1960 he praised the mass work projects of the Great Leap Forward, yet acknowledged that many of the eager, bright students he had known in the 1930s had been rendered incommunicado by the antirightist purge of 1957.

		Edgar Snow got in behind Communist lines to interview Mao Zedong himself, and so he is as much part of the history as he is a witness to it.

		P.S. Snow’s efforts to be “impartial” and to deliver some of his blows at the Stalinists, while reserving most of them for the Fourth Internationalists, has earned him no gratitude in Stalinist circles.

	The New York Review of Books: Portrait of a Monster
		It is close to seventy years since Edgar Snow, an ambitious, radical, and eager young American journalist, received word from contacts in the Chinese Communist Party that he would be welcome in the Communists' northwest base area of Bao-an.

		Snow gave us the first influential account of the “Long March,” in which Mao told the gullible journalist how his troops outwitted and successfully fled the attacking Nationalist troops during the start of the civil war, until Mao and his brave legions settled in the protected safe area of China’s northwest.
		The heroic account of the bravery of Mao and his troops is most exemplified, Mao claimed, by the battle at the bridge in Dadu, where Mao and his troops triumphed despite the fire that enveloped the bridge as his troops valiantly crossed it.
		As for the reported critical battle at a bridge over the Dadu river, a suspension bridge between two cliffs, Edgar Snow had reported that the wooden panels had been removed and Mao’s troops crossed on bare iron chains, facing machine gun fire as the remaining planks were burning.

		Helen Snow died in Connecticut in 1997 and was eulogized in the US and China, where a permanent exhibit of her life has been installed in Xi’an.
		Although the film honors Snow and gives a glimpse into an extraordinary period of history and her part in it, the narrative tends to dwell too much on how she wasn’t given credit for the work of her husband.
		Nevertheless, the filmmakers’ use of Snow’s archives and the images of China it presents should be valuable to students (high school on up) and those interested in Chinese history, 20th Century history, Women’s history and Chinese-US relations.
