The Cultural Revolution in the People's Republic of China started
in 1966 and lasted about a decade. This revolutionary upsurge of
Chinese students and workers, led by Mao Zedong, wreaked havoc in
the world's most populous country, often turning things upside down
and undermining the party, government, and army while
simultaneously weakening the economy, society, and culture. Tens of
millions of people were killed, injured, or imprisoned during this
period and relatively few benefited, aside from Mao Zedong and the
Gang of Four, the group that would eventually receive the blame for
the events of the Cultural Revolution. Given the turbulence and
confusion, it is hard to know just what happened. The A to Z of the
Chinese Cultural Revolution tackles this task. First, in an
extensive chronology, which traces the events from year to year and
month to month, then in an introduction puts these events in
context and helps to explain them. But most importantly, the bulk
of the information is provided in a dictionary section with
numerous cross-referenced entries on important persons, places,
institutions, and movements. A bibliography points to further
sources of information and a glossary will help those researching
in Chinese.
