A student activist and labor organizer who was fluent in Chinese, Rittenberg became caught up in the turbulence that engulfed China and remained there until the late 1970s. Even with access to China's highest leaders as an American communist, however, he was twice imprisoned for a total of sixteen years.\u003cbr\u003eBoth a memoir and a documentary history of the Chinese revolution from 1949 through the Cultural Revolution, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Stayed Behind\u003c\/i\u003e provides a human perspective on China's efforts to build a new society. Critical of both his own mistakes and those of the Communist leadership, Rittenberg nevertheless gives an even-handed account of a country that is now free of internal war for the first time in a hundred years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sidney Rittenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822326671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822326670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.16w x 1.40d","brand":"Sidney Rittenberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947348197631,"sku":"9780822326670","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_501b5ca9-d359-4cde-9b7c-2044530bdd5e.jpg?v=1681518190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-man-who-stayed-behind-sidney-rittenberg-9780822326670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
