Age of ambition: chasing fortune, truth, and faith in the new China<\/a> \/Evan Osnos. <\/strong>A vibrant, colorful, and revelatory inner history of China during a moment of profound transformation. As the Beijing correspondent for The New Yorker,<\/em>\u00a0 Osnos was on the ground in China for years, witness to profound political, economic, and cultural upheaval.
