Falun Gong’s Challenge to China: Spiritual Practice or Evil Cult?

Schechter’s groundbreaking exploration of the Falun Gong crisis in China remains the only book-length investigative report on the subject. The New York Times recently described Schechter’s book as a ‘persuasive analysis of this strange and still unfolding story’, and the Village Voice says that ‘Schechter’s answers are a fiery condemnation of China’s government, complete with first-person reports from imprisoned Falun Gong members, propoganda reports, and writings by exiled Falun Gong leader Li Hongzhi’.
