Book Description:
|
Here is an authoritative reappraisal of one of the most controversial shapers of the modern world. Crisply and accessibly written for non-specialists, it explores how Mao established a communist party state across mainland China in 1949, in the face of apparently insurmountable odds; and what he did as its leader in the years that followed. The "Profiles" format - short, analytical, explanatory - is ideally suited to the task.
