Mao Zedong. The Path to Power

Historical figures deserve objective biographies, although the task of writing such biographies is incredibly complex. Hundreds of books and articles, novels and stories have been written about Mao, films have been made, and websites have been created. It seems that everything has been studied down to the smallest details, but answers to many questions about him are still lacking. Understanding some of them is aided by the biography of the "Great Helmsman," written based on not only official documents but also the accounts of people who knew him personally. The book covers the period up to the late 1930s when Mao becomes one of the leaders of the Chinese communists.
