About this product

Product Information

It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. Combining meticulous history with the story-telling style of Wild Swans, this biography makes immediate Mao's roller-coaster life, as he intrigued and fought every step of the way to force through his unpopular decisions. The reader enters the shadowy chambers of Mao's court, and eavesdrops on the drama in its hidden recesses. Mao's character and the enormity of his behaviour towards his wives, mistresses and children are unveiled for the first time. This is an entirely fresh look at Mao in both content and approach. It will astonish historians and the general reader alike.

    The real story behind the takeover of China by the Communist Party.

    I bought "Mao" by Jung Chang & Jon Halliday because I had read two other books by Ms. Chang. I like her straight forward style. I became interested in the Communist takeover of China in her previous books. This book on Mao is very enlightening. It must have taken years of research to gather the amount of information contained about one of the most brutal leaders of all time. Just when you think the authors have told it all, they surprise you with more. One word of caution though, the book is long and very detailed. It is not one for those who like a light and fast read. It is, however, well worth the cost and a great addition to any library.
