political career spanned more than half a century. The
ideas he championed transformed China and inspired
revolutionary movements across the world. In this book,
leading scholars offer a critical evaluation of the life
and legacy of China's most famous - some would say
infamous - son. Mao Zedong's political career spanned more
than half a century. The ideas he championed transformed
one of the largest nations on earth and inspired
revolutionary movements across the world. Even today Mao
lives on in China, where he is regarded by many as a near-
mythical figure, and in the West, where a burgeoning
literature continues to debate his memory. In this book,
leading scholars from different generations and around the
world offer a critical evaluation of the life and legacy
of China's most famous - some would say infamous - son.
The book brings the scholarship on Mao up to date, and its
alternative perspectives equip readers to assess for
themselves the nature of this mercurial figure and his
significance in modern Chinese history.
