Deng: Godfather of Modern China

by David Bonavia

In this text, the author notes that to the world at large Deng Xiaoping is an enigma, and that for many years he has been perceived as a benign and enlightened elder statesman guiding China's open-door policy. This image however was shattered by the massacre on 4th June 1989 in Tiananmen Square. This book offers an analysis of the life and political career of this man who is one of the world's most powerful men.
