A trenchant reappraisal of Chinese communist foreign policy that provides the first comprehensive analysis of the actual party documents, memoirs, and writings of Mao Zedong that have only recently become available.
Michael H. Hunt is professor of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Hunt ... asks us to put Chinese policy into historical perspective. As a specialist in the late Qing history looking at mid-twentieth-century China, he contends that Mao and his generation of Chinese Communist leaders were products of the Qing experience, of the humiliations China suffered in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.... Non-specialists will be treated to elegant writing, shrewd insights into the mind of Mao, and interesting ... arguments about Chinese Communist policies.
