Description

170 pp. Bibliography of books [in English] about Bethune. Eighty-five black and white reproductions of documents. Opens with an informative fifteen page footnoted introduction by David Lethbridge. Dr. Norman Bethune [1890-1939] is revered to this day in China for his front-line medical service to the Communist Army in the late 1930s. "But from the moment he joined the Communist Party of Canada, the RCMP secret intelligence division kept extensive and detailed files on his every move. Only recently declassified, and fully reproduced for the first time in this volume, are the actual secret police files on Bethune. Never before have Bethune's own words spoken so clearly about the political convictions and personal courage that have led him to be remembered as a revolutionary militant of 'absolute selflessness.'" - back cover. Former library copy with usual markings and above-average external wear. Binding intact. A worthy reference copy. Book
