To Luciano, Louis and others interested re China:

A very important book nobody's mentioned yet is:

        Chinese Revolutionary (Memoirs 1919-1949)
        by Wang Fan-Hsi
        translated by Gregor Benton
        Oxford University Press  1980

A first-hand account by a revolutionary Marxist in the thick of the
struggle, including his conversion with a number of other leading comrades
to a Trotskyist position while at a party school in Moscow, the development
of Trotskyism in relation to the CP (the author worked for a period with
Chou En-Lai) and the extremely relevant account of Trotsky's battle to
unite the four major Trotskyist factions in China in the 1930s.

This is Chinese Trotskyism from the inside.

Cheers,

Hugh

Cheers,

Hugh
