"From the Opium War to Liberation" focuses on describing the complicated and tortuous history from the Opium War to the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, and is highly readable. The author uses credible facts and vivid writing to summarize the magnificent history of the Chinese people who finally achieved national liberation after an arduous struggle in this century. This book with broad vision and profound observations has also become the final work of Epstein's "war tetralogy". "Witness China: Epstein's Memoirs" is Epstein's autobiography. It records his devotion to China's revolution and construction and his personal experience of China's legendary life from national liberation to reform and opening up. In this memoir, Epstein expressed his belief this way: "In the time and space set by history for me, I feel that nothing is better and more meaningful than my personal experience and participation in the revolutionary cause of the Chinese people."

"My Visit to Yan'an: Correspondence and Letters Home from 1944" is Epstein's early work. In 1944, as a member of the "Northwest Visiting Group of Chinese and Foreign Journalists", he went to the base areas behind enemy lines for interviews as a reporter for the New York Times and Time magazines. He wrote a large number of vivid and detailed communications reports, which were widely reprinted and disseminated by international media. He broke the Kuomintang's blockade of public opinion and had a wide-ranging and positive impact. This interview report has therefore become an indelible page in the history of news dissemination of China's Anti-Japanese War.

"China's Unfinished Revolution" is a work completed and published by Epstein in the United States. It is also one of the most important books in his journalistic career. Since the author has followed and interviewed China's Anti-Japanese War for a long time, including in-depth field interviews on both frontal battlefields and battlefields behind enemy lines, this book is highly authoritative and readable, and has become an indispensable classic for the international community to understand China's Anti-Japanese War. After the book was published in the United States in 1947, it was quickly translated into German, Polish, Hungarian and other languages, and had a huge impact internationally.
