"An original and insightful book."--"Boston Globe"
"Polly is an easy amateur to root for."--"Entertainment Weekly"

Princeton University and move to rural China to smash his forearms
against tree trunks. Meet Matthew Polly."--"NY Post"
"I picked up "American Shaolin" and read it straight through. It is
first rate. Polly's book tells more about what's going on in China
and has more insights into the real China than anything in recent
years. It is a wonderful true-life story with profound,
behind-the-headlines observations about Chinese life. A tip of the
Stetson to Matthew Polly."--Dan Rather
