Product Description

It is Mao's most definitive life ever published, based on a decade of research, and interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never spoken before, and with nearly anyone outside of China who has had significant contact with him. It is full of shocking revelations, exploding the Long March myth, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin reverted back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he planned, poisoned, and blackmailed his way. His hidden ambition was to rule the world, after Mao conquered China in 1949. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in history's biggest famine. In all, under Mao 's leadership, well over 70 million Chinese perished in peacetime. Combining detailed history with Wild Swans' story-telling style, this biography makes Mao's roller-coaster life instantly, as he inspired and battled every step of the way to push through his controversial decisions. Mao 's character is revealed for the first time, and the enormity of his conduct towards his wives, mistresses, and children.
