Title: a book full of misuse and misinterpretation
Review: I kept reading this book for half month then gave up--no need to waste more time. This is a book full of misusing of materials and misinterpretation. For people who lost their father or mother in the culture revolution like one of the author, they have all the rights to hate Mao personally. But this does not mean that they can misinterpretate history from a very biased view. There are many times during my reading that I just laughed out how the authors try to portait Mao as an uncomparable evil monster. It is no doubt Mao has many shortcomings and many very wrong decisions. But it is so funny to try to describe him as a such monster full of horrible evils.If you do not want to waste time, no need to read this. If you want to read for fun and see how biased a book could be, 1/3 of the whole book is enough.
