Recenzii

'Perhaps more than any other historical figure, Mao Zedong remains a paradox – was he a revolutionary visionary, a bloodthirsty tyrant, or a combination of the two? In this second edition, Michael Lynch deftly explores the contradictions and conflicts within Mao’s political ideology and personal life by rooting Maoism within its sociopolitical context. Approachable and highly readable, Mao is certain to become a key text for scholars and students alike.'
Emily Baum, University of California, Irvine
'In his concise yet penetrating narrative, Lynch steps out of the Western ideological framework to examine Mao Zedong on his own terms. He skilfully places Mao in the broader context of tumultuous twentieth century China, which was forced to grapple with the twin burdens of her proud and glorious historical past and the bleak reality of a world order dominated in almost every way by foreign powers. This nuanced and vividly written biography is a must-read to understand why Mao Zedong continues to be revered in China, both officially and among a wide segment of Chinese society.'
Xing Hang, Brandeis University

Descriere

Michael Lynch presents an engaging and thorough account of Mao's life and politics, making use of a wealth of primary and secondary sources. He locates Maoism in the broader context of twentieth century Chinese history, discussing the development of the Chinese Communist Party, the creation of the People's Republic of China and the Cultural Revolution. Details of Mao's controversial private life as well as his political and philosophical thought add to this diverse picture of the influential leader. This second edition provides detailed analysis of the Long March, Sino-Soviet relations and the Great Famine and also includes a new chapter on Mao’s legacy.
