Yellow jersey Press 2005 None Hardback Fair in fair dust jacket. About The Book: -Jung Chang`sWild Swanswas an extraordinary bestseller throughout the world, selling more than 10 million copies and reaching a wider readership than any other book about China. Now she and her husband Jon Halliday have written a groundbreaking biography of Mao Tse-tung. Based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao`s close circle in China who have never talked before-and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him-this is the most authoritative life of Mao ever written. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. Combining meticulous history with the story-telling style ofWild Swans, this biography makes immediate Mao`s roller-coaster life, as he intrigued and fought every step of the way to force through his unpopular decisions. The reader enters the shadowy chambers of Mao`s court, and eavesdrops on the drama in its hidden recesses. Mao`s ...

London: Jonathan Cape, Date: 2005. 2nd Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The jacket has some small scrapes. The book appears unread. Mao: The Unknown Story is a 2005 biography of Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong (1893-1976) written by the wife and husband team of writer Jung Chang and historian Jon Halliday, who depict Mao as being responsible for more deaths in peacetime than Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin. In conducting their research for the book over the course of a decade, the authors interviewed hundreds of people who were close to Mao Zedong at some point in his life, used recently published memoirs from Chinese political figures, and explored newly opened archives in China and Russia. Chang herself lived through the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution, which she described in her earlier book, Wild Swans (1991 2005. Jonathan Cape ISBN 0224071262 9780224071260 [NZ]
