I haven't read it, but I've heard a lot about it, so I would love to dig into it! I'm going to Hong Kong for a couple of days on Monday, so who knows?! Is that the one about written by his personal doctor?

By the way, here are a couple of other great recomendations: The Rape of Nanking (Iris Chang), and Factory Girls (Leslie Chang).

The Rape of Nanking is the most heartbreaking and depressing historical account I've ever read, but I think is also a must-read for anyone, whether intersted in China or not, particularly due to the lack of attention that the massacre has received outside of China.

Factory Girls is a book which challenged lots of my notions about factory workers. It's incredibly informative, has a great narrative and is both fun and intersting to read. Usually the books that we selectively choose end up simply reinforcing our already-held beliefs, but this is one of the only books that actually forced me to reevaluate the way I think about the themes presented in it. Hugely recommend it!
