"The forgotten artphotography makes a triumphal appearance in this documentary of the fall of Shanghai to the forces of Mao Zedong during the 1949 Chinese Revolution. Sam Tata does not pictorially record the battles that brought about the fall of the city. Rather, he depicts poignant scenes that, were one ignorant of what transpired, would still inform beggars on the steps of a bank, Europeans in a rickshaw. One only wonders why it took over forty years to bring this into print." - "Booklist".
