Edgar Snow, a native of Missouri, went to the Far East when he was twenty-two. As a foreign correspondent in China, Burma, India, and Indochina he worked successively for the Chicago Tribue, New York Sun, New York Herald Tribune and London Daily Herald.

Out of that experience came Red Star Over China, a classic work that remains one of the most important books ever written about the birth of the Communist movement in China.

Edgar Snow came to China as an honest journalist. Two recent books examine the Edgar Snow legend comprehensively. With keen insight, unaffected sympathy and the realistic spirit of seeking truth, and through his independent observation and contemplation, he' gradually came to know the main trend and orientation of the development of Chinese history. The miserable sight of the industrious and honest Chinese people struggling in famine and on the verge of death gave him a clear picture about the intolerable dark rule over old China.

When Edgar Snow's most famous work, "Red Star Over China appeared in 1937, it created a sensation. Edgar Snow travelled with the men and women of the army of the Chinese Communist Party during the period of time of the civil war in China preceding the Second World War.
His recollections of what he saw brought the real Mao Tse-tung, Chou En-lai and the other leaders of the Chinese Revolution into sharp view for the western public for the first time. Edgar Snow once again visited DChina in 1960 and collected his memories in another book, "The Other Side of the River" published in 1961. "Red China Today" published in 1971, is an updated version of that book. At a time when Cold War politics was about to require President Nixon to visit China, this updated book did as much to educated the United States public about current Chinese society as had his first book in 1937.
Edgar Snow blends pictures of the average person in China with written protraits of the leaders of the nation. This is the real charm about his writing. The reader gets the whole story in a fashion that remains exciting to read.
