In Chasing the Dragon, journalist Roy Rowan recalls his adventures amid
the chaos of 1940s China

When it comes to writing memoirs, journalists either have it or they
don't. Too much recycled reportage, and the account turns leaden,
leaving readers craving the terse economy of the writer's original
articles; too much indulgence in personal reminiscence, and the result
can be cloying and sentimental. But in Chasing the Dragon: A Veteran
Journalist's Firsthand Account of the 1949 Chinese Revolution, Roy
Rowan gets the ingredients just right, providing an account that has
both factual heft and robust flavor.
