A terrible tyrant
By Graham of Watton
' Mao: The Unknown Story' is an extraordinary biography of an extraordinary, and terrible, man. It is probably fair to describe it as an'unknown story', partly because the authors have undertaken detailed, comprehensive research and are able to present facts not known previously, and partly for the more general reason that many people in the West are unfamiliar with the story of Mao's rise to power and his absolutist tyranny. Although it is pointless and irrelevant to argue who was the worst tyrant of the twentieth century, it should not be forgotten that Mao was responsible for the deaths of more people than Hitler and Stalin combined.The authors are particularly strong in the area of Mao's rise to power, both within the Chinese Communist Party, and later over the whole of China. Along the way, they manage to destroy several myths, including the 'triumph' of The Long March and the untainted image of Chou En Lai. Despite the printing of hundreds of millions of copies of the 'Little Red Book' setting out his thoughts, Mao was no great political thinker. Rather, he was a brilliantly ruthless political operator who established a religious cult with himself as the chief deity.I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in twentieth century history. Although it is a fairly substantial tome, it is never dull or boring. It is however shocking and upsetting to see how one man's lust for power could destroy the lives of so many innocent people.

Great Leap and Cultural Revolution
By Steve
I've read several books on Mao and the various historical episodes such as the Long March, Great Leap and Cultural Revolution. I found this book harrowing to read, but couldn't put it down. A large section of carefully-stated sources at the back indicates the quality of accuracy. Of course some events will be accurate, some less so, you can never get historical accuracy perfect because it depends on the quality of the available information. But with such a large source base, this is likely the most accurate account of those times. It rather places Mao as the worst person who has ever lived. If it is true that he was responsible for 70 million deaths of Chinese people, then in comparison to the 50 million worldwide that are generally reckoned to have died in World War II, this largely hidden horror of China's past is truly shocking. I've been to numerous places in China (including Luding, the famous bridge from the Long March) and seen the still-prevalent poverty in many areas, and some scars left by these historical events. How it must have been for ordinary folks during Mao's rein is almost unimaginable compared to most Western society of that time.

A long brilliant book. Ideal for a long journey or a relaxing holiday.
By An Chluas
A phenomenal book and a tour-de-force. The trouble they took to research this book was extraordinary. Mao is seen for what he was, a pitiless, scheming, clever, murderous psychopathic thug in whom there appears to have been no redeeming feature. The only one I know of, not mentioned in the book, is that he stopped foot binding. He starved his people to buy weapons, technology, power and influence. The people around him were by and large bad too and incredibly ruthless, including Chou En Lai. What also is revealed in the book is how gullible many Westerners were, notably Kissinger, Edgar Snow, and the idiot of idiots, Jean Paul Sartre.
