One of the great figures of the twentieth century, Chairman Mao looms irrepressibly over the economic rise of China. Mao Zedong was the leader of a revolution, a communist who lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, an aggressive and distrustful leader, and a man responsible for more civilian deaths than perhaps any other historical figure. Now, four decades after Mao's death, acclaimed biographer Philip Short presents a fully updated and revised edition of his ground-breaking and masterly biography., Vivid, uncompromising and unflinching, Short presents in one-volume the man behind the propaganda - his family, his beliefs and his horrors. In doing so he shows us both the human being Mao was, and the monster he became.

Críticas:
'Beautifully written, grippingly readable ... A formidable piece of research' - Independent; 'Wonderfully readable ... He tells the story superbly ... It is an excellent account' - Guardian; 'Impressive and important' - Independent on Sunday; 'Philip Short's excellent Mao: A Life deserves to be the standard history. It is everything one could hope for: magisterial, beautifully written, excellently printed, and rich in material - John Simpson, Sunday Telegraph; 'Well researched, rich in detail, and beautifully written ... An illuminating and accessible portrait' - Conor O'Clery, The Irish Times; 'It will be a long time ... before there is a Chinese biography of Mao this is as complete and unflinching as ...Mr Short's. The scenes behind the key moments in Mao's life are vividly painted, in a way only a journalist well travelled in China could do.' - Sunday Times
