LITERARY CUIDEPOST
MY LIFE IN CHINA: l926-4l" by Hallott Abend tHarcourt. Brace, S3).
By JOHN SELBY

For variety of reasons, Hallett Abend's My Life in China" is the most valuable book on China, by correspondent, have read so far Partly this is because he lived in China as New York Times correspondent for the Is years be- fore 1941, and thus has a long view of events. Partly it is be- cause he has had the good sense to hang everything on himself and his own experiences; as long as this is done, a reader has a meas uring rod by which to judge the content.
 Two major things emerge from MT. Abend's book One is the tan gle of war, murder and intrigue which preceded China's "unifica- tion" under Chiang. The other is the complete pattern of Japan csc aggression from its real be- ginning in the 'twenties to the present. The vast detail connect ed with each of these ventures makes extraordinary reading, and this is largely because it has been so well organized by the writer. No American will remember all of it, but none is likely to forget the essential facts.
 MT Abend himself was under fire, physically, and so far as his reputation was concerned. He says .Chiang and his nationalists perse- cuted him in typical Chinese fash ion because he insisted on report ing both sides, and would not
