For the first time, newly uncovered secret reports and documents offer a rare glimpse into the inner workings of China's Communist Party leadership during the 1989 Tiananmen Square crisis.

Smuggled out of Beijing by a reform-minded insider, these materials challenge the official narrative that portrays the crackdown as a justified response to violent anti-government protests.

They reveal what China’s leaders knew at each stage of the crisis and identify those responsible for the pivotal decision to deploy troops.

The Tiananmen Papers altered our perception of how and why the events of June 4 took the shape they did. Its publication has proven to be a landmark event in Chinese and world history.

For years, the full truth about Tiananmen Square has remained obscured. Find out the details in this current world affairs book.
