Unbound by Dean King
An astounding story of China's Long March, from the acclaimed author of Skeletons on the Zahara.
'..tells an astonishing and gripping tale of heroism and endurance by the women on this year-long trek from south-east to north-west China...This book is a heart-stirring tribute to them, but not for the first time one is left wondering at the enigma of Chinese character. Over and over again we read of brutalities inflicted by both sides on suspected enemies, as well as bravery and compassion for comrades. Running through the tale like a scarlet thread is utter ruthlessness in the cause: women abandoning their new babies, those who can go no further willingly being left behind, enemies captured and beheaded in order to exhibit their heads on spikes. The conclusion I draw is that we should all learn and teach a great deal more Chinese history' - Daily Mail
