The distinguished journalist and author of Red Star Over China offers here a kind of journalistic, political, and social autobiography. Beginning with his first serious appointment with the Review and, concurrently, South China correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, he traces his ideological development which led him to take an active position in Chinese affairs. His bias in the days of Japanese aggression was pro-Chinese and humanitarian. While he was opposed to the corrupt and inefficient government of Chian Kai-Chek and sympathetic with the ends of the North Chinese, he could not applaud the Communist means. Nevertheless, the political conditions in China warranted his active support. He became instrumental in the establishment of Indusco, an industrial cooperative; encouraged Peking students to express their beliefs; abetted the escape of subversives; and was generally known as a foreigner who had the interests of a unified and progressive China at heart. His subsequent trips to Russia, India, the Philippines, Burma, Arabia afforded interviews revealing the excoriated pulse of backward and/or communist countries. Talks with Mao Tse-Tung, Mme. Chiang Kai-Chek, Mme. Sun Yat-Sen, Nehru, Ghandi, F.D.R., Russian officials, continued to confirm his principles and provided material for articles in the Saturday Evening Post, The Tribune and his books. Written by a master of the informal journalistic style, with personal information, humor, life-or-death adventures sneaking through forbidden territories, Journey to the Beginning is excellent reading. It not only clarifies the author's own political philosophy but lends insight into that complex, often enigmatical, nation which is China, and which is today the political locus of the eyes of the world.
