Your 100% right...Its a very good and detailed bio. It is my favorite Mao bio.


But it only talks about him and his actions(like all bio's). An intresting companion for that book would be "the private life of chairman mao" in which his doctor talks about his personal reaction to things and his converstations.


knowing about the situation and then reading about what he says gives you more insight into his thinking.
