I do have one book of monsieur Henri's photographs called L'Autre 
Chine (The other China). These photographs (1948-49)show the retreat 
of the Kuo-min-tang troops and the arrival of Mao Zedong's "Popular 
Army". Even though it must have been a very scary time, there's a 
certain tranquility about these b&w photographs, depicting no 
violence. HCB's humanism is apparent.
There's probably some of these photos in the books you have bought.
Cheers,
Andre
