The Great Road: The Life and Times of Chu Teh by: Agnes Smedley
Softcover. London, Monthly Review Press, reprint, 1972, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 460 pages. A manuscript of this book was left by Miss Smedley at the time of her death in England in 1950. It has the greatest value both for historians and for the general reader. Miss Smedley spent many evenings over a period of years with Teh, probing his life history, recording his reminiscences and answers to her questions. As a biography of the leader of the Chinese Red Army, therefore, this book is and will remain unique, a priceless documentary source for all historians of the Chinese Revolution, present and future. But it is much more than that. By skillfully weaving the story of Chu Teh into the context of Chinese social and political development, Miss Smedley has succeeded in making modern Chinese history come alive as no other author has done. The drama of the desperately poor peasant boy from a remote region of China who became one of the two principal organizers and guiding spirits of one of the greatest revolutions of all time: this is Miss Smedley's theme, and she handles it superbly.
