An authentic story, albeit a bit lengthy, told by one of the secretary to the political meeting called by Chairman Mao at Loshan. The meeting was meant to be reviewing the deficiencies by the administration. But it was turned into political storm by Chariman Mao after receiving a letter from General Peng Takwei, disagreeing on the many political agenda set out by Mao himself. The book revealed the political struggle inside the Chinese Communist Party at the top level but readers should be advised to read with some degree of skepticism as the author is one of the party member as well. Anyway, the book is not written with critical style as general reader might have assumed. For a book that shed light on the high level Chinese communist leaders, their interrelationships, their way of thinking, it is a book that worth to read.
