No one I had met before had spoken with such cool and perfect honesty, the words tart and fresh, in a light but unmistakable Boston accent, the opinions warm, no qualifications...I had never before found a woman who would stand up to the devil (or Henry Kissinger) and tell the truth to his face.[3]
Charlotte Salisbury began accompanying her husband on his trips to Asia for the Times. Her first book, Asian Diary (1967), records their lengthy 1966 journey in a number of countries and areas around China: Hong Kong, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, India, Sikkim, Mongolia, Siberia, and Japan. She records meetings with both royalty and government leaders and everyday people. Her second book, China Diary (1972), records a six-week visit to Beijing and was one of the first Western accounts of everyday life in China following the 1972 visit by US President Richard Nixon. Her final book, Long March Diary: China Epic (1986), recounts the grueling 7,000-mile journey taken by her and her husband via donkey, jeep, and truck retracing the route of The Long March.[1][2][3]
Charlotte Y. Salisbury died on 25 April 2012 in a nursing home in Salisbury.[3]
