Way way better than I expected.  Deng xiaoping is one of the most dynamic world leaders I have ever read about. I’m so happy I chose this book as it was so thorough. I can’t help but to want to learn even more about deng after this book. How someone can be a right hand man of mao and find themselves then reversing many of his policies for the better of China was very interesting to me. How he modernized China so fast and slowly brought some freedoms back to the Chinese people all while keeping the country stable. An expert at almost everything he touched. Open minded despite coming from one of the most close minded governments in the modern world . Absolutely fascinating
