Description
An authoritative reappraisal of one of the most controversial shapers of the modern world. Crisply and accessibly written for non-specialists, this impressive Profile explores Mao from a number of angles: as revolutionary general, as ideologist, as political manoeuvrer. It considers his achievements from the Long March through to the establishment of the People's Republic; and seeks to understand the reasoning behind his later policies with their often diasastrous consequences, climaxing in show more the Cultural Revolution. Throughout, Shaun Breslin places the actions of this supremely self- confident being in their full ideological context; but also brings home how far he was eventually isolated by his obsession with power. show lessTags
