Service, editor of Golden Inches "Elegant in style and penetrating in analysis, Thomas has written what is likely to be the definitive study of Edgar Snow's life and influence on the American understanding of China."--Michael Schaller, University of Arizona "An absorbing book about China, the craft of journalism, and the life of a remarkable American."--Jonathan Spence, Yale University, and author of The Search for Modern China "Few writers had a greater effect on how Americans came to view China during the middle of the twentieth century than Edgar Snow. Bernard Thomas has written an account of Snow's years in China that is both fascinating and authoritative."--Orville Schell
