      The authors explain why Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and show his Machiavellian role in masterminding it (which Chinese publications conceal). In its critical analysis of Chairman Mao and its portrait of a culture in turmoil, this book offers the most authoritative and compelling account to date of this seminal event in Chinese history.
