Fascinating to see Mao’s paranoia creep in. Zhongnanhai and Group One has begun to feel the cost of the Great Leap Forward. It’s equally insightful to see the Sino-Soviet relationship develop in the early 50s.

The attack on the rightists has begun. It’s fascinating to see the link between Mao’s brutal purges and his own health.

A great read so far. A rare insight in to the person behind such brutal, revolutionary change in the Middle Kingdom….
