		When Snow waxes about the moral rigor of the Red soldier and the zealous dedication of the "Little Red Devil" youth, he is not merely praising moral men, but is showing how the fanaticism of Red soldiers gave them advantages in morale and tactics the hesitant-but-well-financed KMT army could not attain.
		Red Star Over China is a work that should be read if one is interested in Mao, his views, and Chinese history.
		Red Star over China chronicles this journey, while also describing much of the turbulent history of China during a period of revolution and turmoil.

	Autobiographical Notes on Mao Tse-tung
		As early as Chingkangshan the Red Army had imposed three simple rules of discipline upon its fighters, and these were: prompt obedience to orders; no confiscations whatever from the poor peasantry; and prompt delivery directly to the government, for its disposal, of all goods confiscated from the landlords.
		The main tasks of the Red Army then were the recruiting of new troops, the sovietization of new rural areas, and, above all, the consolidation under thorough soviet power of such areas as already had fallen to the Red Army.
		In January, 1934, the Second All-China Congress of Soviets was convened in Juichin, the soviet capital, and a survey of the achievements of the revolution took place.

	Book Review of Snow's Red Star Over China

		Nevertheless, Red Star Over China is something of a historical masterpiece.

		The functionaries of the C.P. turned over to the Kuomintang and sent numbers of their own comrades (ours as well) to torture and death in the dungeons of the ruling class.
		And there was the Red army general, who a few short months after he was fulsomely eulogized by Agnes Smedley and others as a revolutionary hero, joined Chiang Kai-shek’s military headquarters to map military campaigns against his former comrades-in-arms.

		As Hessler says, the book is not about China as a whole, but it gives an intelligent look at modern Chinese life.
		My dear friend Paul is reasonably proud of his Condensed China, which is reputed to provide a certain effect, not dissimilar to what you seek.
		Jonathan Spence's The Search for Modern China is a pretty extensive historical overview of China from the Ming dynasty onward.
