Tale of Torture

Red Dragon over China, by Harold H. Martinson. 328 pp. Minneapolis: Augsburg Publishing House. $3.50

The Red Dragon in Mr. Martinson’s title is, of course, Chinese Communism. But further justification for his title the author finds in this quotation from the Book of Revelations: “And another portent appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon—that ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world.”
