| Description: | Select Guide Rating "One of the best analyses of the impact of Tiananmen throughout China in the years since 1989." --The New York Times Book Review "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. In The People''s Republic of Amnesia, NPR correspondent Louisa Lim offers a much-needed response to the silence surrounding the events of June 4th, charting how deeply they affected China at the time and in the 25 years since. |
