Rare Books
An engrossing account of China just before the Bamboo Curtain came down, concealing China from Western eyes for a generation. This is the true story of Fred Schroder, American trouble-shooter and camel caravanner whose harrowing travels through Mongolia, Siberia, Tibet and China's Far West, make for rich history and high adventure. He has a shoot-out with a nomad chieftain, encounters living gods, gets involved in two revolutions and one coup d'etat, and explores the astounding Royal Tombs at Xian-- now called the greatest archaeological discovery of our time. Easton writes in the first person, to capture the voice and idiom of the indomitable Schroder -- Back cover.
