Book synopsis

Graham Peck (1914-1968) made his first trip to China in 1935 and served with the U.S. Office of War Information in China throughout the 1940s. "Two Kinds of Time" is witty and eloquent in both its words and the drawings with which it is lovingly illustrated. Long out of print in its unabridged version, this engagingly written eye-witness narrative of China on the eve of revolution remains an important source of historical and political information. Robert A. Kapp's new introduction analyzes the book's original contribution and highlights its relevance to issues in the twenty-first century world. 'It gives me great joy to celebrate the reappearance of the best book on China that I have ever read, Graham Peck's "Two Kinds of Time", nearly six decades after its original publication. This book is at once hilarious and horrifying, heart-warming and heart-breaking, educational and entertaining' - From Robert A. Kapp's Introduction.
