Summary
This biography 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 1920's. Mao conquered China in 1949 and his goal was to dominate the world. in chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao's rule in peacetime.
