Mao by Michael Lynch
Was Mao Zedong the first red emperor or the last great Marxist leader? Held in awe by his people, he was seen by many as a supreme hero who had freed their country. Lynch presents an account of Mao's life and politics, making use of a wealth of primary and secondary sources, locating Maoism in the broader context of 20th-century Chinese history.-
