About the book: 2001 / Mao Zedong is one of the most controversial figures in world history. A philosopher, an expert on Confucius, a poet whose poems amaze with their grace, and at the same time a man who, with the ease of a capricious monarch, controlled the destinies of entire nations. Hedonist, subtle intellectual - and politician, on whose conscience is the nightmare of the “cultural revolution”. Mao Zedong is still considered a sublime genius and a gloomy villain, a fiery revolutionary and an inert dogmatist. Who was this man anyway? How did you live? How did you act? How did you feel? Have you heard about the famous quotation book that made “Comrade Mao” the ruler 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 DEVASTATED ICON.
