Reviews"Die umfangreiche Materialsammlung und der aufmerksame und interessante Kommentar erweisen sich als nützliche Hilfsmittel für jede Auseinandersetzung mit dem Motiv des Eros in der antiken Tragödie."Serena Pirrotta in: Museum Helveticum 2006, "An intriguing premise and a unique perspective... Passages about then editor-in-chief Henry Luce and his wife, Clare Boothe Luce, prove fascinating, particularly for those interested in media.

Chasing the Dragon takes its place alongside other classic pieces of reportage on this crucial turning point in Chinese history." -- Smithsonian "Roy Rowan gets the ingredients just right, providing an account that has both factual and robust flavor ..."--Time Magazine, "An intriguing premise and a unique perspective...
