“A stimulating argument, useful for both novices and
established scholars.”

"Meisner is uniquely qualified by political commitment,
professional experience, and scholarly talent to produce this
important new biography of Mao. He offers a reasoned, indeed
regretful, Marxist analysis of Mao's role in the Chinese
revolution, acknowledging his successes but particularly seeking to
understand the roots of Maos dictatorship and the many tragedies
befell China under his sway. In this way, Meisner offers a useful
and compelling narrative that truly provides food for
thought."
Timothy Cheek, University of British Columbia
"Meisner's updated assessment of Mao Zedong once again offers
the best available intellectual history of Mao's life and
deeds."
Lee Feigon, University of Chicago
