Hello lemmygrad friends!

On discussing China with a friend, he took a beautiful copy of the book in the title as support for “but the Chinese revolution actually prosecuted people”, or something. The usual.

Challenge is now I have 700 pages to read, apparently about how Mao bad, China bad, communism bad.

To my questions: anyone out there knows about this book? Anything I should know while reading it? Anything worthwhile to expect about the book?

Thnak you in advance!

    Thank you! Sounds like a good primer.

    I’m not on the mood for 700 pages of grotesque cherrypicking research. I’ll probably skim the index and check few chapters, but certainly not the whole thing.

    Is there any other similar but honest biography of Mao?
