Summary:In East Germany in 1964, after twenty-five years of silence, Otto Braun revealed that he was the mysterious Li De (Li Te), the "blond-haired and blue-eyed Aryan" that Edgar Snow had seen with the Chinese Communists in the summer of 1936. The revelation that he had been the Comintern's military adviser to the Chinese Communist party from 1932 to 1939 and the memoirs that followed came at a time when the deep animosity between Moscow and Beijing had become public, and the Chinese and the Russians were vociferously disputing which nation was the true representative of Marxism-Leninism.
