Publisher's Synopsis
National Public Radios Beijing correspondent Rob Gifford recounts his travels along Route 312, the Chinese Mother Road, the longest route in the worlds most populous nation. Based on his successful NPR radio series, China Road draws on Giffords twenty years of observing first-hand this rapidly transforming country, as he travels east to west, from Shanghai to Chinas border with Kazakhstan. As he takes the reader on this journey, he will also take us through Chinas past and present while he tries to make sense of this complex nations potential future.
