The Peking Papers: Leaves from the Notebook of a China Correspondent By Jacques Marcuse Dutton, $6.95

Mr. Marcuse first went to China in 1932 as correspondent for the Havas News Agency. He was in China in the 1940s and saw the early period of Communist rule in Shanghai. In the spring of 1962 he returned as correspondent for the Agence France Presse and stayed for over two and a half years. His stay, therefore, covered the period of recovery from the economic crisis of 1960-61 and he noted a steady improvement in living conditions.
