Overly simpathetic depiction of Mao
Published by Martin Bebow , 5 years ago
I'm reading this in conjunction with Jung Chang's bio of Mao and finding it hard to reconcile them. The Chang book goes into much more detail and paints a devistating picture of Mao. This book makes him seem much more appealing.
