Praise for Mao Zedong: A Life:
“Spence is the best known and most talented historian of China writing in English today. . . . His Mao Zedong succeeds.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Exceptionally successful.”
—The New Yorker
“The task of bringing Mao to a large, non-specialist audience is one for which Spence is eminently well-suited. His lucidly written, compellingly narrated explorations of modern Chinese history have attracted a readership unmatched by that of any other academic China specialist. His study of Mao is short . . . his writing tight, his judgments restrained.”
—The Washington Post
“An elegant account, at once sparse and robust.”
—The Economist
“Jonathan Spence [is] an eloquent chronicler of Chinese history. . . . [A] brisk, elegant book. . . . Spence skillfully uses Mao’s letters and poems to explore the Chinese leader’s thinking and relationships.”

—Library Journal (starred review)
“Fluid and informative despite its brevity.”
—Publishers Weekly

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Spence draws upon his extensive knowledge of Chinese politics and culture to create an illuminating picture of Mao. . . . Superb. (Chicago Tribune)From humble origins in the provinces, Mao Zedong rose to absolute power, unifying with an iron fist a vast country torn apart by years of weak leadership, colonialism, and war. This sharply drawn and insightful account brings to life this modern-day emperor and the tumultuous era that he did so much to shape. Jonathan Spence captures Mao in all his paradoxical grandeur and sheds light on the radical transformation he unleashed that still reverberates in China today. This intimate portrait of Mao Zedong, one of the most formidable and elusive rulers in modern history, introduces the essential background about the Chinese leader, including his relations with family, friends, and confidential assistants, as well as his youthful writings, poems, letters, and drafts of speeches. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780143037729
