For fifty days, the world watched as a generation of China’s young people stood up and spoke out about democracy and freedom. Then, horrified, the world witnessed a brutal massacre of young demonstrators as China’s leaders enacted their response: crackdown, repression, denial.
David and Peter Turnley's photo essay is the definitive visual record of the democracy movement in Tiananmen Square, from the euphoric occupation of the square to the shocking bloodletting.
