American journalist Ranya Pruhme and her husband edited an English language newspaper, People's Tribune, in Hankuo (Wuhan) in the years 1926-27. This period coincided with the assumption of power by the Kuomintang party in Nanjing and the rise of Chiang Kai-shek as the party leader; pivotal events in the development of the Chinese revolution.

Tragically, Prohme died of illness in Russia in late 1927 at the age of 33. Faint tape residue marks on FEPs, otherwise a pristine, unread copy. xiii, 196 pp., 8 b&w photos, index.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Very nice clean copy with dustjacket. Reader's reference points noted by turning down several page corners and minimal underlining in very good black pen (see photo) Rayna and her husband Bill edited the Kuomintang's English-language newspaper in Wuhan. Rayna's account of her intimate involvement in the Chinese Revolution brings to life the eventful Wuhan years of 1926-27, which shaped the revolution's course. Her letters illuminate from a personal angle the battle for China's future and include remarkable portraits of some of the people who shaped the Communist and Nationalist movements of the time. The book consists of letters Prohme wrote to her closest friend and her husband in the period immediately before, during and after the Wuhan interlude. Her reporting brought her into contact with many major political figures including Madam Sun Yat-sen (a prominent figure in the opposition to Chiang Kai-shek) and Mikhail Borodin (a chief Soviet advisor in China). This book provides an unusual and often moving insight into a fascinating period in modern Chinese history. Copyright © Pluto Press.…
