Escape from Shanghai (Paperback) by Paul C Huang
Key item features
This is a true story you were never meant to read. Memories of events recounted here were expected to die with those who lived them, to fade with time. But the tale survived -- and now it is told on the record for the first time. Escape from Shanghai reveals the conspiracy Jane Sun discovered at the highest levels of Chinese government during World War II, and tells the story of the courageous things that she did to combat the corruption. A biography that reads like a spy thriller, it follows Jane's behind-the-scenes struggles to bring down a corrupt governor, and it recounts the brutality and terror she and her young son encountered during their efforts to escape from the invading Japanese.
Escape from Shanghai reveals what could not be disclosed until after Jane's death. This book exposes secrets that China's Nationalist Government has successfully covered up for almost seven decades-until now. This is a must-read for every scholar of Chinese history.
The book is compelling, thrilling, and intriguing. Escape from Shanghai is accomplished author and award-winning writer-producer-director Paul C. Huang's account of his mother's life.
Written with flair, attention to detail, and obvious passion, Escape from Shanghai is a historic memoir that reads like flawless fiction. A powerfully presented book, it's sure to appeal to a wide variety of readers, including history buffs; fans of suspense novels and conspiracy theories; and anyone interested in stories about courage, conflict, and perseverance.
