Shanghai was to be a mere stopover, but Snow stayed on in China for thirteen years. The idealistic young Midwesterner became a journalist and developed close friendships with China's emerging revolutionary leaders. His 1938 classic, Red Star Over China, strongly influenced American views of the Chinese Communists and is still in print nearly sixty years later. S. Bernard Thomas's sensitive biography of Edgar Snow emphasizes the journalist's China experience and shows how he became involved in events along with reporting them. An epilogue takes up Snow's cold war travails and his often frustrating "bridge-building" efforts between China and the United States in the final decade of his life."--Jacket. 517 $aSeason of high adventure 517 3 $aEdgar Snow in China 606 $aForeign correspondents$zChina$vBiography 606 $aForeign correspondents$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aForeign correspondents$xBiography$zChina 606 $aForeign correspondents$xBiography$zUnited States 606 $aJournalism$2HILCC 606 $aJournalism & Communications$2HILCC 607 $aChina$xHistory$y1937-1945 608 $aBiography.$2fast 615 0$aForeign correspondents 615 0$aForeign correspondents 615 0$aForeign correspondents$xBiography 615 0$aForeign correspondents$xBiography 615 7$aJournalism 615 7$aJournalism & Communications 676 $a070/.92 676 $aB 700 $aThomas$b S.
