One of the best analyses of the impact of Tiananmen throughout China in the years since 1989. --The New York Times Book ReviewOn June 4, 1989, People''s Liberation Army soldiers opened fire on unarmed civilians in Beijing, killing untold hundreds of people. A quarter-century later, this defining event remains buried in China''s modern history, successfully expunged from collective memory.
