"Spence draws upon his extensive knowledge of Chinese politics and
culture to create an illuminating picture of Mao. . . . Superb."
("Chicago"" Tribune")
From humble origins in the provinces, Mao Zedong rose to absolute
power, unifying with an iron fist a vast country torn apart by
years of weak leadership, colonialism, and war. This sharply drawn
and insightful account brings to life this modern-day emperor and
the tumultuous era that he did so much to shape.
Jonathan Spence captures Mao in all his paradoxical grandeur and
sheds light on the radical transformation he unleashed that still
reverberates in China today.
