Synopsis :

Book by Short Philip

Revue de presse: 'Beautifully written, grippingly readable ... A formidable piece of research' - Independent; 'Wonderfully readable ... He tells the story superbly ... It is an excellent account' - Guardian; 'Impressive and important' - Independent on Sunday; 'Philip Short's excellent Mao: A Life deserves to be the standard history. It is everything one could hope for: magisterial, beautifully written, excellently printed, and rich in material --- John Simpson, Sunday Telegraph

'Well researched, rich in detail, and beautifully written ... An illuminating and accessible portrait' --- Conor O'Clery, The Irish Times

'It will be a long time ... before there is a Chinese biography of Mao this is as complete and unflinching as ...Mr Short's. The scenes behind the key moments in Mao's life are vividly painted, in a way only a journalist well travelled in China could do.' --- Sunday Times
