第一個加入中國共產黨的美國人 ；曾是中共宣傳家，毛澤東的窯洞牌友和忠實助手。
中國的政治犯，在蘇聯間諜案和文革時期，分別引發了毛澤東的疑心，得罪江青入獄，即，因間諜活動和反革命陰謀含冤入獄共約16年。
他認為毛澤東在自己都沒有把握的情況多次進行大規模的社會試驗，讓許多人吃苦受難，許多人犧牲生命，是一件非常嚴重的事，也是影響對其評價的大事，因此反覆提到
“I think China has to face the fact that Mao was one of the worst people in human history,” was Rittenberg’s assessment of Mao in old age. “He was a genius, but his genius got completely out of control, so he was a great historic leader and a great historic criminal. He gave himself the right to conduct social experiments that involved upturning the lives of hundreds of millions of people, when he didn’t know what the outcome might be. And that created famines in which tens of millions died, and a revolution in which nobody knows how many died.” At a personal level, he said: “I didn’t feel any warmth, although he said nice things about me.”

In 1993 his memoir, The Man Who Stayed Behind, was published, and in 2012 he was the subject of the documentary The Revolutionary.
He taught into his 90s at several US universities. On his office door at one there was a sign that read “S. Rittenberg. History.” Under it, he wrote: “Not yet.”
He is survived by Yulin and their children, Jenny, Toni, Sunny and Sidney Jr, and four grandchildren.

They drew a circle that shut me out
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout
But love and I had the wit to win;
We drew a circle that took them in.

“And herein lies the tragedy of the age: not that men are poor,––all men know something of poverty; not that men are wicked,––who is good? not that men are ignorant,––what is Truth? Nay, but that men know so little of men.” - W. E. B. DuBois, “The Souls of Black Folk”

評論家Vivian Gornick在時報“紅色世紀”專題文章中寫道，美國一度有數十上百萬共產主義者，十月革命是他們的創始神話，馬克思主義是他們的世界觀；有人說，美國曾有共產黨，真是幸運。
《築就我們的國家：20世紀美國左派思想》Achieving Our Country, 源於羅蒂（RichardRorty，1931-2007）於1997年所作的「麥西美國文明史系列講座」。書中的羅蒂自始至終慷慨激昂、充滿自信，他旨在激勵美國左派知識分子積極參與國內事條，重新點燃他們心中的熱情，從而恢復美國文化生活的平衡。

China Witness (English) Hardcover –Rawson Assoc 1981
Sidney Rittenberg
Sidney Rittenberg, 98, a U.S. soldier who stayed in China for 35 years after World War II, serving as a dedicated aide to Chairman Mao Zedong. After being incarcerated twice on espionage charges, he became disillusioned with Communism and moved back to the U.S., where he advised companies seeking to capitalize on China’s booming economy.
He had no regrets for the years he spent in China.
He was motivated then, as now, to support the Chinese people’s quest to taste the responsibilities and rewards of freedom.
The best personal thing to come out of Rittenberg’s years in China was acquiring “the world’s best wife,” he said. “In my 98 years of existence, I did one really smart thing on my own,” he said. He and Yulin became friends before he expressed more serious feelings. “When I got out of prison, she was put in charge of getting me back to normal life…whatever that is. Our quarrels always end with me having the last word…Yes, dear,” he said, laughing.

“I think as far as the United States is concerned, we don’t really understand what we’re dealing with in China, and therefore it is not possible to deal intelligently with it,” …Intelligent people are threatening the largest country in the world with destruction. “So suppose if they really get an opportunity to carry out those threats; would it be possible to destroy the other without destroying one’s self? How could that be possible?” He suggested “why not give up on the idea of destruction?”~ Aug. 14, 2019 interview
“他的故事引人入勝，或許最好理解成現代中國的縮影，”記者加里·里夫林曾寫道。 “他從身陷囹圄的僑民搖身一變，成為收費不菲的國際中間人，反映出這個國家的轉變——從一個封閉的共產主義國家轉變成一個自由賺錢的社會，擁有一批新的企業家，他們的夢想與硅谷那樣的地方人們腦海中的夢想並無二致。”
“我幫助那些為新中國效力的人是對的，”李敦白曾在回憶錄中寫道。 “但我把黨當作真理的化身，對黨給予不加批判、毫不懷疑的忠誠卻是大錯特錯。”李敦白於上週六在美國去世，享年98歲
李敦白(Sidney Rittenberg)荒誕的人生傳奇不僅止於在中國度過的35年——獲釋後，他回到美國，成為西方資本家的顧問，幫助他們在開拓中國市場的過程中賺大錢。比爾·蓋茨和邁克爾·S·戴爾等商業領袖都是他的客戶。在中國，他仍然受到歡迎，帶領企業家組團旅行，把他們介紹給這個國家的權勢人物。
Rittenberg's connections and experience enabled him to run a consultancy business representing some of the world's biggest brands, such as Intel, Levi Strauss, Microsoft, Hughes Aircraft and Teledesic
In 1993, he wrote a book about his experiences in China entitled The Man Who Stayed Behind.
In 2012, a documentary about Rittenberg was released, called The Revolutionary
Manage Your Mind: Set Yourself Free Paperback – 2016
by Sidney Rittenberg
Sidney Rittenberg was imprisoned in China on false charges for sixteen years. Yet instead of being angry, scarred, or bitter, he is merry, affectionate, balanced, and fun. In this book, he offers the welcome news that we are stronger than we think. We can learn ways that can guide us through struggles we never imagined. We can use our minds to deal with negative emotions and help us identify our purpose. Everyone can benefit from these life lessons, learned the hard way.
“Manage Your Mind, Set Yourself Free,” to answer the most asked question, “How did you survive 16 years in solitary confinement in prison?” “How does it happen that my life was struck by a series of disasters like long-term solitary and then being stricken by some mysterious disease, and yet turns out to be an unusually happy life?
“How is that possible? I think the answer is…no matter what happens, you are in charge of your life, but you have to take charge.”
