Controversial - reveals how foreign 'friends'have been used to serve the interests of the chinese state

Contentious - corrects the myth that other writers have created of him as the plain spoken Kiwi who could put across communist messages to the West more effectively than China's regular propaganda machine

Reveals how China has been misread by the West; also how China's rulers have tamed foreigners to advance China's aims to their countries of origin

Makes clear the role that China's 'foreign friends' played in people-to-people diplomatic relations as well as in the ideological education of Chinese citizens

Provides an engaging and insightful account of Rewi Alley's fascinating life
