Mao Zedong is one of the most controversial figures in world history. A philosopher, a connoisseur of Confucius, a poet whose poems amaze with their grace - and at the same time a man who easily controlled the fate of entire peoples with the ease of a capricious monarch. Hedonist, subtle intellectual - and politician who has a nightmare on his conscience " cultural revolution ". Mao Zedong is still considered a sublime genius and a gloomy villain, a fiery revolutionary and an oblique dogmatist. Who was this person after all? How did you live? How did you act? How did you feel? Have you heard of the famous quotation book that made " Comrade Mao " the master of the minds of millions of people around the world? Do you know anything about the secret intrigues and crimes of the great Chairman? Then this book is for you. Because both fans and opponents must first of all know their teacher or opponent, especially if he is a overthrown idol.
