Rayna's account of her intimate involvement in the Chinese Revolution brings to life the eventful Wuhan years of 1926-27, which shaped the revolution's course. Her letters illuminate from a personal angle the battle for China's future and include remarkable portraits of some of the people who shaped the Communist and Nationalist movements of the time. The book consists of letters Prohme wrote to her closest friend and her husband in the period immediately before, during and after the Wuhan interlude. Her reporting brought her into contact with many major political figures including Madam Sun Yat-sen (a prominent figure in the opposition to Chiang Kai-shek) and Mikhail Borodin (a chief Soviet advisor in China). This book provides an unusual and often moving insight into a fascinating period in modern Chinese history.Letters of Rayna ProhmeJournalistsUnited StatesCorrespondenceJournalistsChinaCorrespondenceChinaHistory1912-1928JournalistsJournalists951.04/1Hirson Baruch243649Knodel Arthur1916-2001.46148Benton Gregor652984MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974106203321Reporting the Chinese Revolution4369691UNINA
