New York Times diplomatic correspondent and son of Chinese immigrants to the US, Edward Wong grew up in a family of secrets. When Wong became the paper’s Beijing bureau chief, the role brought both discoveries of his father’s own mysterious past and a rare insider’s insights to a nation undergoing decades of momentous change. At the Edge of Empire is at once a moving chronicle of a family and an essential work for understanding China today.
