Mao: The Unknown Story by Jung Chang, Jon Halliday

challenging dark informative slow-paced

4.0

A truly exhausting, meticulously researched look at Mao's life and the period of Chinese history he impacted. Infuriating, baffling, heartbreaking, informative, and more. A vital resource in the battle to truly understand and learn from our history, no matter how painful, there's a lot to be learned for use in our present-day, too. Also a fatal blow to anyone who still believes in or uses the Cult of Mao for their own ends.
