| Description: |
A reappraisal of Mao Tse-Tung. The study considers Mao's achievements from the Long March to the establishment of a communist party state and looks at the reasoning behind the programme of radical experiments undertaken to transform China into a rich and powerful society. |
| Synopsis: |
Shaun Breslin has written a crisp, accessible and authoritative reappraisal of one of the most controversial leaders of the modern world. This impressive profile explores Mao from a number of angles; as a revolutionary general, as an ideologist and as someone who knew how to maneuver himself and others politically. The book considers Mao's achievements, from the Long March through the establishment of the People's Republic, and seeks to understand the reasoning behind his later policies with their often disastrous consequences, climaxing in the Cultural Revolution. And throughout, the author places the actions of this Supremely self, confident leader in their full ideological context, ultimately to examine how far he was eventually isolated by his obsession with power. |
