Last year the world watched with amazement as a democracy movement of unprecedented scope swelled in the People's Republic of China (PRC), and only a few weeks later with shock as the armed might of the PRC government was openly wielded to crush the dissent. What the cameras did not document is the true tragedy of Tiananmen. Behind these images is a story of the Chinese democracy movement that suggests that the spontaneity and disunity of the movement, and the problems of organization and leadership that beset it, made the state's brutality an unnecessary action in its aim of controlling the movement
