These desperate and bloody struggles were personified in the lives of Norman Bethune and others who volunteered in both conflicts. The story of Red Friends starts in the 1920s when encouraged by the newly formed Communist International Chinese nationalists and leftists united to fight warlords and foreign domination. John Sexton has unearthearthed the histories of foreigners who joined the Chinese revolution. He follows Comintern militants journalists spies adventurers Trotskyists and mission kids whose involvement helped and sometimes hindered China's revolutionaries. Most were internationalists who while strongly identifying with China's struggle saw it as just one theatre in a world revolution. The present rulers in Beijing however buoyed by China's powerhouse economy commemorate them as foreign friends who aided China's peaceful rise to great power status. Founded on original research it is a stirring story of idealists struggling against the odds to found a better future. The author's interviews with survivors and descendants add colour and humanity to lives both heroic and tragic.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Red Friends Internationalists In China's Struggle For Liberation\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Sexton John\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781788735667\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 400 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 2\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Marxism \u0026amp; Communism","brand":"Sexton John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624061149489,"sku":"IN-G-9781788735667","price":29.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781788735667.jpg?v=1724769943","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781788735667-red-friends-internationalists-in-chinas-struggle-for-liberation","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
