The article notes: "Fenby excels at weaving the strands of his complex narrative into heroic and more often harrowing tales. There are sharp pen portraits of the heroes and (mostly) villains of the piece: exotic monsters such as the Dog Meat General, or the Christian General whose men marched to the tune (but not the words) of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, but also leading figures such as Sun Yatsen and Zhou Enlai - the first of whom emerges as a disorganised lightweight, the second as a ruthless accomplice to Mao’s crimes."
