The Tragedy of the Chinese Revolution

Harold R. Isaacs was a writer and long-time student of Chinese affairs. The Tragedy of the Chinese Revolution, his first book, was based largely on long hidden original historical documents and has been recognized for many years as preserving the historical truth that would otherwise have been erased by the revolution’s betrayers. Isaacs’s loyalty was not to a party or ideology but to the “martyrs” to whom he dedicated his work and the millions who fought for a more just and humane Chinese society.
