This book launches an ambitious reexamination of the elite politics
behind one of the most remarkable transformations in the late
twentieth century. As the first part of a new interpretation of the
evolution of Chinese politics during the years 1972-82, it provides
a detailed study of the end of the Maoist era, demonstrating Mao's
continuing dominance even as his ability to control events ebbed
away. The tensions within the "gang of four," the different
treatment of Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping, and the largely
unexamined role of younger radicals are analyzed to reveal a view
of the dynamic of elite politics that is at odds with accepted
scholarship. The authors draw upon newly available documentary
sources and extensive interviews with Chinese participants and
historians to develop their challenging interpretation of one of
the most poorly understood periods in the history of the People's
Republic of China.
