An excellent chronicle of three extremely brave souls who defied and continue to defy the utterly flawed (Anything But)People's Republic. An entire race of 1.3b that has been conditioned and beaten to submission.

In May, 1989 the Chinese government declared martial law against the student protest being held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square. Three young men wanted to widen the student's protest to include a pro-democracy stance. After their approaches to the student leaders failed they decided to take action to bring attention to their democratic beliefs, knowing they could be arrested and imprisoned. They threw eggs full of paint at the large picture of Mao hanging in the Square. Canadian author Denise Chong was approached by Random House to write this important book on human rights in 2007, once the three men and their immediate families were safe in Canada and the United States. Highly recommended. (
