Best history book I've ever read. The story of China's role in the Korean and Vietnam wars alone is worth it. It clearly explains the way tyrants like Mao and Stalin think and act. FASCINATING!
Wow....

1st of all i think that the book was great. 2nd of all id like to point out that previous comments about men wanting to sleep with Mao is disgusting. In some countries you could be seriously punished for acting gay. 3rdly i think most of the reviews saying the book was bad are extremely baised. The people writing them "Worship Mao" and "Only read one page to tell book was bad." You definetly shouldnt allow these people to influcence your opinion about the book they are total Newbz. Mao killed thousands of people. If some of you remember in the early 50's the "Great Leap Forward." Mao killed millions in a forced famine. What a great guy to want to sleep with.

This book is a good look at one of the most vile men in the world. He was the consumate manipulator of other humans. He probably has done more to hurt China than any of the ancient rulers. I question if we will ever know the cost in human lives that this man caused. If you want to understand what happened to China during the latter half of the 20th Century, read this book.
