This definitive work, based on 20 years of first-hand research and first-person interviews conducted by Pulitzer Prize-winner Salisbury, follows the lives of Mao and Deng from their rural childhood to their triumphant establishment of the People's Republic of China. "Reads as much like popular fiction as a work of history."--Orville Schell, The New York Times.

From a reviewer: Black Night, White Snow: Russia's Revolutions, 1905-1917 My rating: didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing add to my books Black Night, White Snow: Russia's Revolutions, 1905-1917 by Harrison E. Salisbury 4.03 of 5 stars 4.03 · rating details · 31 ratings · 4 reviews The destruction of the Czars which brought about the reign of revolutions from 1905-1917 in Russia looms as the crucial political event of the twentieth century. In little more than a decade the Romanov dynasty was toppled, and its time-honored institutions repudiated. How did it happen? How could Nicholas and Alexandra, the nobility, middle class anarchists-even Lenin himself-not foresee the catastrophic changes that were shaking the empire? Why could nothing be done? And why were the efforts so ineffectual? Black Night, White Snow captures the rich drama of this whole period. With the artistry of a Balzac, Harrison Salisbury exposes the strata of Russian society, with its decedents, prophetic poets, religious fanatics, and newly liberated serfs. From archival sources within the Soviet Union, interviews, and his personal photography collection, he recreates the story as it happened. Hard data on Russia's economy, a first-hand knowledge of the county, and a historian's gift of compression are combined in a fast-paced narrative that reads with the ease of a good novel and the urgency of a newspaper headline.

1941年から1944年にレニングラードの包囲ナチスは第二次世界大戦の最も陰惨なエピソードの一つであった。 300万人近くの人々がそれに耐え、その半数が死亡しただけで。 25年間著名ジャーナリストや歴史家ハリソンソールズベリー街ははるかにヒトラーとスターリン両方の恐怖からを持っていた、極悪と生存のこの驚くべき物語をつなぎ合わせ。 The Nazi siege of Leningrad from 1941 to 1944 was one of the most gruesome episodes of World War II. Nearly three million people endured it; just under half of them died. For twenty-five years the distinguished journalist and historian Harrison Salisbury pieced together this remarkable narrative of villainy and survival, in which the city had much to fear-from both Hitler and Stalin.

( Harrison E. Salisbury probably knows Russia better than...)
Harrison E. Salisbury probably knows Russia better than any other living American correspondent, having traveled widely and frequently through almost every part of the Soviet Union, including the long-sealed-off regions of Siberia, the sub-Arctic, and Central Asia as well as the Volga country and the Ukraine. He has also covered the entire periphery of China, traveling more than 25,000 miles along China's frontiers from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the bristling Siberian-Chinese border. His first assignment in Russia was as head of the United Press bureau in Moscow in 1944. After joining The New York Times in 1949 he became their Moscow correspondent and remained there for the next five years. Out of his observations during this period grew his celebrated series for the Times, "Russia Re-Viewed," which brought him the 1955 Pulitzer Prize. He subsequently wrote two books dealing with the same period, American in Russia (1955) and Moscow Journal--The End of Stalin (1961). His recently published The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad was widely acclaimed and an important best-seller. As a result of his reports Mr. Salisbury was barred from Russia for five years, and was not allowed to return to the country until 1959. At that time he stayed for nearly six months, traveling thousands of miles within the Soviet Union. His 1960 book, To Moscow and Beyond, was a result of this trip. He has since revisited Russia in 1961-62, 1966, 1967, and 1969.

(Why did the North Vietnamese admit Harrison Salisbury? Ho...)
Why did the North Vietnamese admit Harrison Salisbury? How do the people of Hanoi respond to American bombing? Why has the United States left certain targets of obvious military importance untouched while risking inevitable damage to homes and schools in other areas? What made the early months of 1967 a time of special opportunity for peace negotiations? What is the relationship of the North Vietnamese to China and the Soviet Union? To the Vietcong? Is there a risk of world war in the struggle for control of South Vietnam? These and other questions were answered in this book which is also an extraordinary personal narrative. The readers is almost "there" on this unique voyage of history. Shortly before Christmas, 1966, after 18 months of intensive effort, Harrison Salisbury, a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter of international standing, succeeded in getting into North Vietnam, a land that had previously barred American correspondents. His eyewitness, eye-opening account of how the Vietnamese war looked from the other side became in itself front-page news throughout the world. It was reprinted, debated, commented on, editorialized about. It was condemned by the "get tough" school at home, acclaimed by others. It was praised by the Vatican. It may well have influenced the Johnson Administration to amend its statements and perhaps its policy on the bombing of Hanoi and its environs. In short, it was news and it made news, for it opened up what had been terra incognita to the American public. In this book, distinguished by its vivid prose and on-the-spot photos, Mr. Salisbury enlarges on what he saw and heard behind the lines in North Vietnam, whether on a trip down a bomb-pocked supply route or in an interview with the country's Premier which kept lights burning late in Washington, Moscow and Peking. Back home , he put the whole story into a wider perspective, dealing with the controversy that his dispatches arouse, into this book.
