The personal anecdotes in Taylor's memoir, Present at a Revolution, convey the flavor of life in 1930s China with details not described in his academic writings. Taylor tells of smuggling medicines to the Chinese, with his life in danger if he was caught and hiding the manuscript of his book in his baby son's bassinet to get past a Japanese checkpoint. Taylor's memoir is an engaging account for everyone interested in 1930s North China.
