Quotes by Edgar Snow (?)

“A look at Chinese history showed that some of China鈥檚 ablest patriots were at one time or another labeled bandits.”

“Where did the Communists get their support? From the "great majority鈥�"鈥攖he poor peasants, ready to die for them. Why? Peasants were not interested in revolution, Marxism, or theories. They wanted peace, rice, parcels of land, relief from their agonies, freedom from crushing debts, usury and taxes, and a chance for their children to learn to read and write.”

“In those dreamy years of lingering isolationism we Americans thought of both Asia and Europe as a museum of inanimate ruins. The history I was then witnessing could not be brought home "to sit on." The living humanity in the old world was far more important than its relics and its problems would affect the lives and fortunes of our own sons for man years to come.”
