* Three of the top four China scholars in America have said this is the most important book on China published in decades.



Trade Review
Thanks to these documents, we can read the words of the Party bosses, angry and baffled... Today many Chinese officials blandly deny that there was a massacre at all. These documents, however, prove it all. * John Simpson, BBC's World Affairs Editor *
Fascinating. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
The significance and rarity of the book and its potential value to researchers can hardly be overstated. * OBSERVER *
The most valuable political book I read was THE TIANANMEN PAPERS, which gives an extraordinary insight into the old regime's ruthless stand against the freedom campaigners in Beijing in 1989. * GUARDIAN *
