Mao Zedong was one of the most important figures of the twentieth
century, the most important in the history of modern China. A
complex figure, he was both a champion of the poor and a brutal
tyrant, a poet and a despot. In this major new biography, the
authors draw upon extensive Russian documents previously
unavailable to reveal surprising details about Mao's rise to power,
his leadership in China, and the true nature of his relationship
with Stalin.
Mao brought his country from poverty and economic backwardness into
the modern age and onto the world stage. But he was also
responsible for an unprecedented loss of life during the disastrous
Great Leap Forward and the bloody Cultural Revolution. He lived and
behaved as China's last emperor.
"Mao" is the full story of Mao's life and rule told as never
before.
