Another View of Tian'anmen by Sun Feiyang and Roderic Day is a good introduction to the backgrounds of the protest, its distortion and foreign-backed influence, and western media distortion of both the context and the events of June 4th themselves. For further reading, Qiao Collective's Tian'anmen Protests Reading List has a lot more you can dive into. Both should give you a better understanding of the non-western viewpoint on what's officially called in China as the "June 4th Incident."
