Mao: The Unknown Story

More about the book

Based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao Tse-tung's close circle in China, this is a biography of Mao. It aims to explode the myth of the Long March, showing that: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned and blackmailed to get his way.
