Written for Rewi Alley
O-NIGHT I say with a flourish, reminiscent of the poet Wordsworth, Throw away all your books and read Edgar Snow’s Scorched_ Earth, the finest book which has yet appeared on the Chinese War. A book by Edgar Snow, especially when that book is a worthy sequel to Red Star Over China, is an event of some importance not only in the world of books but also in the world of men and women and social affairs. Moreover, as far as New Zealanders are concerned, Scorched Earth cannot, help having a special appeal. It is written for Rewi Alley, builder of a New Brotherhood of Labour; and Edgar Snow devotes more than one chapter to the organisation and achievements of the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives and to the hard working New Zealander who almost without knowing it has become a figure of international importance.-(Book Review by Winston Rhodes, 3YA, June 10.)
