For centuries, the countries of Asia languished in monstrous slavery, first under the rule of local tyrants - rajahs, sultans, emperors - and later under the boot of European colonizers. The incredible richness of nature here was combined with the appalling poverty of the common people and the luxury of the rulers' palaces.
But at the beginning of the twentieth century, there were people ready to put an end to this. Guerrilla wars engulfed the entire continent. Following Maoist China in the fight against colonizers, as well as their local collaborators, all the peoples of Asia rose up. From Turkey to Japan and from Indonesia to Arabia - everything was colored with the red flags and spilled blood.
In impoverished Burma and prosperous Japan, hundreds of thousands of people went into the forests, went underground, went to prisons and to the gallows for the great idea that Asia would eventually transform from a valley of sorrow into a flourishing land of universal equality.
Some of them succeeded, some perished in agony, never seeing the dawn. This book tells the story of these remarkable people.
