The fact that Snow did not sneak into "red China" to gather information constituting the basis of his Red Start over China all alone is in many instances misunderstood even by scholars. Mao Zedong's biography has been the subject of an international mountain of commentary in China and elsewhere. Biographies praising Mao and those slandering him are all based on the American journalist Edgar Snow's (1905–1972) account in Red Star over China for the route Mao traveled from early childhood through his youth. How the "Red Star" Rose introduces the image of Mao and the biographical information made known to the world through the publication of Red Star, and with its publication the circumstances which they fundamentally undermined. Ishikawa Yoshihiro uses Mao Zedong as raw material to examine from whence and how ordinary historical information and images which we habitually use unconsciously come into being. He desires to help readers to reconsider the historicity of the generation of not only Mao's image but of that of "historical materials."

考索鮮為人知的歷史細節，揭示毛澤東研究的全新面相。 一九三六年，美國記者埃德加· 斯諾帶着兩部相機、二十四隻膠捲及中共地下組織用「隱色墨水」寫給毛澤東的介紹信，穿越國民黨軍隊的封鎖線和土匪橫行的西北內陸，前往迷霧重重的「紅色中國」—陝北。外界傳言，他已命喪「共匪」之手。 三個月後，斯諾卻突然在北平現身，並據十六大本採訪筆記寫成《紅星照耀中國》一書，首次披露毛澤東的早年經歷與中共革命的真實面貌，徹底顛覆了人們的認識。 然而，在這之前，世界怎麼看待毛澤東和中國共產黨？ 本書從一九三〇年代國際共產主義運動的視野入手，通過博搜龐大的資料並對之進行相互比較，多角度查考毛澤東早期形象錯綜複雜的形成、改變和傳播過程。同時，對斯諾歷史性的冒險之旅，以及他所留下的經典著作在中國、蘇俄和日本經歷了怎樣的沉浮變遷，提供了「深刻而又出人意料的洞見」。
