Mao: The Unknown Story

69,00 

Jung Chang, the author of the famous Wild Swans, this time does not present us the life of ordinary people on the background of a turbulent history, but with the attention of the researcher focuses on the life of an extraordinary character who disturbed the history.

Mao, The Unknown Story was named as one of the most important biographies and a must-read, not only for people interested in Chinese history, but for the entire 20th century. Chairman Mao’s decisions claimed more lives than all the crimes of Hitler and Stalin combined, which most Westerners are not aware of, and certainly are not known to the citizens of the People’s Republic of China.

For Jung Chang herself, who as a teenager was a victim of the vision created by a “savior” and became a member of the Red Guard, trying to show his true face was a personal challenge, and even a duty. In order to make this great reveal, she and her husband spent over ten years collecting documents. On many occasions they took great risks to interview those who knew the Chairman personally. Thanks to this, the information in this book has not only gained authenticity, but has also been presented in an interesting, “live” form.

Thanks to Mao: The Unknown Story, we have the opportunity to go on a long march through the “unknown” history of the author of such pitiful projects as the Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution. It is worth taking advantage of this opportunity, if only because we do have it – unlike the inhabitants of mainland China, who will hopefully one day find out the whole truth about their beloved Leader.
