Mao Zedong

Mao Zedong — perhaps the most famous name in Chinese history, for many he still embodies all of modern China. At the same time, as with any well-known figure, the image of the «Great Helmsman» remains a mixture of real facts and popular myths.
This edition is based on numerous documentary sources, — from personal telegrams to key works of Chairman Mao — to provide the most accurate representation of his political biography, his development and activities as a revolutionary, military leader, ideologist, and head of state.
The book will be of interest to researchers of the biographies of outstanding historical figures, and to anyone studying the military-political history of the 20th century and the history of New China.
