| Originally published in 1989, Yangtze! Yangtze! is credited with pressuring the State Council to postpone the dam, and adding momentum to the democracy movement. Banned in China, the book also landed author Dai Qing 10 months in prison. | The River Dragon Has Come! is another monumental work by the courageous Chinese writer Dai Qing. It tells the story of how government officials and dam boosters are manipulating common sense, economics, and politics to promote the Three Gorges dam. | ||
| Before the Deluge captures the sense of the daily life, traditions, and history of the people who live along the Upper Yangtze's Three Gorges area. By Deirdre Chetham ISBN 0-312-21417-0 |
