“Rebecca E. Karl has written a lively, readable account of Mao’s life and thought, showing how they fit into and affected the twentieth-century world.â€�- Delia Davin , author of Mao Zedong, "Rebecca E. Karl has written a lively, readable account of Mao's life and thought, showing how they fit into and affected the twentieth-century world."-- Delia Davin , author of Mao Zedong, "Rebecca Karl provokes both China scholars and the general public to reassess the Chairman once again. Karl's book departs from the tendencies to either depoliticize Mao or sensationalize his private life for popular consumption by recentering contemporary discussions around his public role in making revolution." - Jeremy Tai, Twentieth-Century China, "In this succinct and compact narrative of Mao's personal and intellectual development, Rebecca E. Karl offers an impressive exposition of the formation and evolution of the theory and practice of the Chinese Revolution. Her analysis of ideological tenets in China's revolutionary movement is convincing and more sophisticated than other narratives of Mao's life and thought."- Ban Wang , author of Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China, "In this succinct and compact narrative of Mao's personal and intellectual development, Rebecca Karl offers an impressive exposition of the formation and evolution of the theory and practice of the Chinese Revolution. Her analysis of ideological tenets in China's revolutionary movement is convincing and more sophisticated than other narratives of Mao's life and thought."--Ban Wang, author of Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China "Rebecca Karl has written a lively, readable account of Mao's life and thought, showing how they fit into and affected the twentieth-century world."--Delia Davin, author of Mao Zedong: A Life, "Unlike many other works, [Karl's] book blends historical facts with cultural analysis, creating a work that is informative despite its brevity. . . . After bringing Mao's life-story to a close, the author provides a succinct yet meaningful analysis of his legacies. . . . [T]his is a very useful introduction to the most important leader in modern Chinese history." - Survival, "Karl's history offers readers a chance to see China as Mao might have seen it. She implicitly begs the reader to ask, what might Mao, whose portrait still looks out over Tiananmen Square, have thought of China as it rises today? And perhaps more importantly, does it matter? Given the proliferation of interest and intrigue surrounding Mao Zedong's life, Karl's history included, the CCP has done wonders to maintain the authority he created while forsaking the China he imagined." - Angilee Shah, Z calo Public Square, "Karl's history offers readers a chance to see China as Mao might have seen it. She implicitly begs the reader to ask, what might Mao, whose portrait still looks out over Tiananmen Square, have thought of China as it rises today? And perhaps more importantly, does it matter? Given the proliferation of interest and intrigue surrounding Mao Zedong's life, Karl's history included, the CCP has done wonders to maintain the authority he created while forsaking the China he imagined." - Angilee Shah, Zcalo Public Square, "Rebecca Karl's important new biography seeks to contextualize Mao within the history of his time, aiming to restore a degree of sanity in discussing his life and role, warts and all, as the father of modern China; and simultaneously to rescue the history of the Chinese Revolution from its detractors in the West and at home." - Tariq Ali, New Left Review, "In this succinct and compact narrative of Mao's personal and intellectual development, Rebecca E. Karl offers an impressive exposition of the formation and evolution of the theory and practice of the Chinese Revolution. Her analysis of ideological tenets in China's revolutionary movement is convincing and more sophisticated than other narratives of Mao's life and thought."-- Ban Wang , author of Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China, "Karl's history offers readers a chance to see China as Mao might have seen it.

Given the proliferation of interest and intrigue surrounding Mao Zedong's life, Karl's history included, the CCP has done wonders to maintain the authority he created while forsaking the China he imagined." - Angilee Shah, Zócalo Public Square, '[A] reasonably balanced, clear-headed survey of the Great Helmsman's career and influence. . . . [I]f I had a class of young students approaching the period for the first time, I'd consider this book a not inappropriate textbook to hand them. And by the same measure it can also be recommended to the educated general reader." - Bradley Winterton, Taipei Times, “In this succinct and compact narrative of Mao’s personal and intellectual development, Rebecca E. Karl offers an impressive exposition of the formation and evolution of the theory and practice of the Chinese Revolution. Her analysis of ideological tenets in China's revolutionary movement is convincing and more sophisticated than other narratives of Mao’s life and thought.â€�- Ban Wang , author of Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China, "Rebecca E.
