Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung

This book includes important articles Mao wrote in the different periods of the Chinese revolution. A number of editions of his articles have appeared in various places, but none of them had been gone over by the author; their arrangement is haphazard, there were errors in the text, and certain important writings were omitted. The contents of the present edition are arranged in chronological order and according to the main periods in the history of the Communist Party of China since its foundation in 1922. The present edition includes a number of important writings not included in the earlier editions. Mao has read all the articles, made certain verbal changes and, in isolated cases, revised the text. This book covers the periods of the First Revolutionary Civil War (1924-27) and of the Second Revolutionary Civil War (1927-37).
