«Mao: The Unknown Story» is the biography of Mao Zedong by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday, published by Vintage in paperback (971 pages, in English).
This biography, based on ten years of research and interviews with people from Mao Tse-tung's circle, dismantles the myth of the Long March and presents an ambitious and manipulative leader, not an idealist. The work analyzes his relationship with Stalin, his tolerance of the Japanese occupation and the policies that led to the great famine.
For readers of biographies, contemporary history and Chinese politics.
