A biography that penetrates Mao's rhetoric and infamous self-will to distil an intimate portrait of a man as withdrawn and mysterious as the emperors he disdained. From humble origins in the provinces, Mao Zedong rose to absolute power, unifying with an iron fist a vast country torn apart by years of weak leadership, foreign imperialism and war. In this sharply drawn account Jonathan Spence, award-winning historian and author of acclaimed books about the old and the new China, brings to life this modern day emperor and the tumultuous era that he did so much to shape. He presents Mao as a 'Lord of Misrule', who deliberately turned upside-down the traditional hierarchies of Chinese society. Spence captures Mao in all his paradoxical grandeur and sheds light on the radical transformation he unleashed that still reverberates in China today.

Mao Zedong, die ondanks moord en terreur door China's bevolking als groot communistisch leider werd vereerd, gaf uiteindelijk de aanzet tot de grote veranderingen die het land van een achterlijke samenleving tot het China van vandaag hebben gemaakt. Jonathan Spence, bekroond historicus en auteur van een aantal boeken over het oude en nieuwe China, dringt door in de persoon, het leven en de politieke macht van de omstreden revolutionair. Jonathan Spence doceert Chinese Geschiedenis aan Yale University in de Verenigde Staten. Hij is vanaf 1994 tevens Honorary Professor aan de universiteit van Nanjing in China. Spence publiceerde een twaalftal boeken over de geschiedenis van China. De bekendste daarvan zijn Eeuw van China en The Death of Woman Wang. 'Bondig en goed geschreven.' De Gelderlander 'Jonathan Spence, gelauwerd auteur van boeken over het moderne China, heeft zich uitstekend van zijn taak gekweten en materiaal gebruikt dat pas sinds kort beschikbaar is.' de Volkskrant 'Voortreffelijk, erudiet en zeer leesbaar wek dat nieuw licht werpt op de jonge jaren van Mao.'
