Book Reviews of Thread Of The Silkworm
Book Review: A well written and fascinating tale
Summary: 5 Stars
Chang has written a spellbinding biography of Tsien Hsue-shen, the father of the Chinese missile program. Meticulously researched and well written. A fascinating story which I find hard to put the book down once started. I highly recommend the book to anyone who interested in modern Chinese history as well as general readers.
