    4.0 out of 5 stars A very good insight
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2010
    Published shortly after the Communist revolution, this book has a lot of insights. Well before the Cultural Revolution, he figured out that Mao would see changing the culture as his main task. It also gives you a good general background, a wider view of the society by someone who knew China quite well.
