Wild Swans is Jung Chang’s powerful family memoir tracing three generations of women through twentieth-century China: her grandmother, her mother and Chang herself. Moving through warlord China, Japanese occupation, the rise of Mao, the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath, the book combines intimate family history with a broad account of political upheaval and survival.

A widely read modern classic of memoir and Chinese history, Wild Swans won the 1992 NCR Book Award and has become one of the best-known personal accounts of life under twentieth-century Chinese communism.
