Mao's Last Revolution

Descripción

This is a 'Uncorrected Page Proof' copy. / The authors explain why Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and show his Machiavellian role in masterminding it (which Chinese publications conceal). In often horrifying detail, they document the Hobbesian state that ensued. The movement veered out of control and terror paralyzed the country. Power struggles raged among Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Qing - Mao's wife and leader of the Gang of Four - while Mao often played one against the other. /// This is a 1st edition paperback with its dustjacket in fair condition-the first 10 pages are stained&creased from liquid-(what I would say is its still very readable copy) & the cover creased. 658 pages & 13 pages of introduction. (This is a heavy book nearly 1.1kg, so there will be an extra postage charge).
