Mao and the Chinese Revolution
Description:... The book attempts to show, among other things, the Communist leader's penetrating understanding and adroit handling of problems and the brilliance of both his words and actions. Mao insisted on removing bourgeois elements that had infiltrated the government and society in favor of capitalism, "revisionists," through violent class struggle. His call to action inspired China's youth to form Red Guard groups around the country as he himself seized control of the Communist Party of China.
