This book attempts to illuminate some of the trends and conditions in China just prior to, and at the time of, Communist takeover. It is not, and does not purport to be, either a history or an exhaustive analysis of those years. It is composed, in fact, of reports I wrote in China during that period, and, like all current reporting in times of rapid change, these reports have certain unavoidable limitations; they inevitably tend to be fragmentary and lack the kind of perspective only time can provide. Nevertheless, I believe that they do contain information unavailable elsewhere, and that they may convey a "feel" for many of the complex problems involved in the revolutionary upheaval in China which could not be obtained except from on-the-spot observation and study.
