Title: better than others but still wretched
Review: this is a better bio, but only in regard to early Mao-- and even here there is too much shoddy pop-psychologizingHe is esp weak on Mao-in-power. He relies much too heavily on disreputable, gossipy accounts, like the "unofficial" fantasy book by Dr Li. There is nothing but personality analysis here, and no account of Chinese society at large, what the masses of people were doing, what Mao's deeper, social and ethical motivations were, etc.Overall, too much money and too many useless pages for such a breezy, crappy book.there simply no good bios of Mao, at least in English
