Title: In depth, but not too in depth, basic, but not too basic
Review: This extremely researched chronicle teaches you everything you would want to know about Mao. But theres more to it than that. What this book tells you from the very beginning on the inside flaps of the hardcover addition, is that Mao is the father of modern China. Many Chinese in America act as though Sun Yatsen or Chiang Kaishek of the Guomindang was the father of modern China but are lying to prevent hostility. What this book also mentions is that Mao was responsible for cultural change for the better: women were out of the homes and into public life such as in medicine, politics, and society. But this is not a pro-Mao book. I wouldn't speak highly of it if it was. Mao was responsible - as this book mentions - for the deaths of millions more people than any other person in human history.My favorite part of the book is the conclusion. It explains how Mao is viewed in china today.Read this book if you like history.
