Reviews

Ross Terrill’s wonderfully engaging memoir opens a fascinating window onto the momentous changes in China… Australian Bush to Tiananmen Square offers a warm hearted and informative account, at once deeply personal and decidedly analytical, by one of America’s most knowledgeable China scholars.

Ross Terrill for over half a century has been a leading observer and scholar of China. In this fascinating book he intersperses China's contemporary history with his own experiences… As with Terrill's many other works on China, this book is a beautifully written and enjoyable read.
Dwight Perkins, Harvard University
