«Mao: Den ukjente historien» is the historical biography by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, published by Gyldendal in hardcover (832 pages, in Norwegian).
The book reconstructs the life of Mao Zedong as the result of a decade of research. Drawing on interviews with people close to him and documents that had previously been inaccessible, the authors trace his rise to power and the keys to his regime, offering a critical view that contrasts with the official image of the Chinese leader.
Originally published in 2005; the subtitle «Den ukjente historien» means 'The Unknown History' in Norwegian.
For readers of contemporary history and political biographies, especially those seeking a critical approach to 20th-century China.
