Brian Wayne Wells, Esquire, reviews "Red China Today"

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.
