Prickle is finished

The revised version is still probably the definitive biography in English of Mao. Worth reading just for the historical essay at the end where Short shits on Jung Chang's Mao "biography" and evaluates the pros and cons of other works on Mao. In terms of strangeness, incidence, contrasts, and consequence, Mao's life still might be the most unbelievable of the 20th century. But no one has yet had the final word.
