Zhou Enlai by Gao Wenqian
Works about Zhou Enlai are heavily censored in China. This work offers a portrait of the real Zhou, a man who lived his life at the heart of Chinese politics for fifty years, who survived both the Long March and the Cultural Revolution - no thanks to ideological or personal purity - but because he was artful, crafty and politically supple.
"a valuable and revealing book on the brutish and incredibly cruel nature of the Maoist regime.. For a sense of what life as a top Communist leader under Mao was like look no further." BBC History Magazine "(Gao Wenqian) offers valuable insights into the "brutal mafia-like battle that is Chinese politics". Daily Telegraph"
Gao Wenqian is the former official biographer of Zhou Enlai at the Chinese Communist Party Central Research Office for Documentation and director of the Zhou Enlai Research Group. He lives in Queens, New York.
