More about the book

The narrative chronicles Hua Guofeng's unexpected ascent to leadership in China after Mao's death in 1976, highlighting his rapid rise from obscurity in Shanxi and Hunan. However, within a mere two years, his political career was overshadowed by Deng Xiaoping, who possessed greater charisma and strategic acumen. The story emphasizes the stark contrast between Hua's remarkable rise and his even more astonishing decline in the political landscape.
