Title: most likely true but unreadable
Review: A grindingly unreadable biography. I started to lose interest when the authors kept writing sentences such as: "Lo Pu told Po Lu to go to see Ko Lu and settle accounts." Yes, go on with it then! Also: "Zhong Zhuzing (who we shall now refer to as ZZZ)..." Then why not also "refer" to Mao as MTT throughout? The sections describing Mao's infidelity are interesting and the people come alive, but otherwise the actions and individuals remain (to me) remote and mechanical.The authors fail to provide much of a context for all this running around and slaying and betrayal.Illuminates the relationship between China and Russia pretty well.
