Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and the Evolution of the Chinese Communist Leadership

Více o knize

Challenging conventional narratives, this work reexamines Mao Zedong's ascent to leadership within the Chinese Communist Party during the Long March and questions the CCP's independence from the Comintern by 1935. It critiques both Chinese official historiography and Western scholarship, suggesting that future histories of the People's Republic of China must consider these revised perspectives. This book offers a fresh lens on a pivotal period in Chinese history, reshaping our understanding of Mao's role and the party's dynamics.
