Red Star Over China is a 1937 book by Edgar Snow based on his visit on the eve of the Second Sino-Japanese War to areas controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), when it was largely obscure to Westerners. The book made an impact on public opinion in China when it was quickly translated into Chinese, and along with Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth (1931), it was the most influential book on Western understanding of China in the 1930s.
