Mao, The Unknown Story pdf torrent

The most authoritative life of the Chinese leader ever written, \'Mao: the unknown story\' is based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao\'s close circle in China who have never talked before-and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him. It\'s full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a complete unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism of ideology; his intimate and intricate relations with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and schemed, poisoned, and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing his dream he caused the death of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history.In all, over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao\'s rule - in peacetime.
