Abstract:
In their new book "Mao: The Unknown Story" Jung Chang and Jon Halliday
make an impassioned case for a reevaluation of Mao - as a tyrant worse
than Stalin or Hitler. Based on a decade of research into previously
untapped sources worldwide and on unprecedented interviews with Mao's
inner circle and with virtually everyone outside China who had
significant dealings with him, this book raises new questions about
Mao's role in the rise and success of the Chinese Communist movement.
Jung Chang is the author of "Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China",
a best-selling memoir that chronicles the sufferings of her family
under Mao. Jon Halliday, her husband, is a British historian.
