Journalist Johnson delivers a striking account of people who have defied authority to document negative aspects of life under the Chinese Communist Party. According to Johnson, as each iteration of the party tries to erase the past, each new generation produces its own “underground historians” who are “ready to spring into action when the state’s guard is down".
