Book Description: Michael Lynch's second edition of Mao examines the life of this controversial figure. Opening with a detailed chronology, it delves into Mao's younger years and tracks his gradual rise to power, with a chapter dedicated to the cult status that surrounded him. Through a wealth of primary and secondary sources and a balanced consideration of the conflicting views that surround Mao's leadership, this book provides a thorough exploration of Mao's political and private life. Key features of the second edition include a detailed analysis of the Long March, an account of Sino-Japanese relations and an assessment of Mao's ongoing legacy. This biography will be essential reading for anyone interested in Mao and the politics of twentieth-century China.
Editorial Review: Perhaps more than any other historical figure, Mao Zedong remains a paradox - was he a revolutionary visionary, a bloodthirsty tyrant, or a combination of the two? In this second edition, Michael Lynch deftly explores the contradictions and conflicts within Mao's political ideology and personal life by rooting Maoism within its sociopolitical context. Approachable and highly readable, Mao is certain to become a key text for scholars and students alike.' Emily Baum, University of California, Irvine 'In his concise yet penetrating narrative, Lynch steps out of the Western ideological framework to examine Mao Zedong on his own terms. He skilfully places Mao in the broader context of tumultuous twentieth century China, which was forced to grapple with the twin burdens of her proud and glorious historical past and the bleak reality of a world order dominated in almost every way by foreign powers. This nuanced and vividly written biography is a must-read to understand why Mao Zedong continues to be revered in China, both officially and among a wide segment of Chinese society.' Xing Hang, Brandeis University
