    That’s what you get when the book isn’t co-authored by either a political scientist from the mainland or a sinologist. What did you expect? Those are non-Chinese last names. There is always this book in English by the Chinese Foreign Language Press.

      There is. Albeit I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for.

    Poland bookstore moment. Never buy any history/biography book without researching. Assume everything published (in Poland everything after 1989) that even mention anything related to socialism is pure anticommunist propaganda.

    Hell in Poland even ancient and medieval history books routinely make random potshots at communism. Entire fiction, even fantasy novels or romance books include anticommunism. It seems that absolutely nothing can get published here without anticommunism.
