The Tiananmen protests and Beijing massacre of 1989 were a major
turning point in recent Chinese history. In this new analysis of
1989, Jeremy Brown tells the vivid stories of participants and
victims, exploring the nationwide scope of the democracy movement
and the brutal crackdown that crushed it. At each critical juncture
in the spring of 1989, demonstrators and decision makers agonized
over difficult choices and saw how events could have unfolded
differently. The alternative paths that participants imagined
confirm that bloodshed was neither inevitable nor necessary. Using
a wide range of previously untapped sources and examining how
ordinary citizens throughout China experienced the crackdown after
the massacre, this ambitious social history sheds fresh light on
events that continue to reverberate in China to this day.
