Giant in Chains

Further Details

Tiananmen Square. Two words that will not blow away in the winds of time.

What do they mean to you? Can you make sense of the violence? Do you understand why?

John Warwick Montgomery was there and as an eyewitness provides answers to such questions in his intriguing book, Giant in Chains.

Using his wide knowledge of China, he analyses the various forces that have shaped that country’s destiny: the legacy of Imperial China the historical resistance to anything foreign the influence of the three religions of China the chequered history of the Christian church the Chinese brand of Marxism that filled a spiritual vacuum.

Out of bloodshed and repression, Professor Montgomery sees a vision of hope for the future.
