Description
The Long March by Sun Shuyun is an epic account of one of China's most pivotal moments. In 1934, the Communist Party and its armies were forced to flee their bases after being defeated by Nationalist troops. Over 10,000 miles, they traversed treacherous terrain, suffering heavy casualties along the way. Sun Shuyun's journey to retrace the Marchers' steps reveals a more complex story than previously told. She uncovers hidden accounts from veterans who survived the march, sharing their experiences of hardship, loss, and hope. Through their stories, she sheds light on the brutal purges, hunger, disease, and desertions that accompanied the march. This book offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in Chinese history, one that has been shaped by propaganda and myth over time. Sun Shuyun's account is a brave and exciting tale of endurance and courage against impossible odds.
