Hemingway stuff can really come with such hyperbole, sometimes to the point of a gossip fiction novel. This account of a time little known in his and Martha Gelhorn`s life has so many facts about the times of war in China. The account of the different contacts they had and the adventures lived. Wow, we are such puppies when we have small travel glitches. What is especially endearing is when Hemingway literally picks up a horse and carries it after the little fellow collapsed!
