Mao Zedong was one of the most powerful men of the Twentieth Century and perhaps the worst mass killer in history.
"Mao Zedong" by Whitney Stewart is a brief narrative of the long and complex life of the founder of Communist China.
Mao Zedong was born in 1893 and tried several occupations before he became a political revolutionary. Ms. Stewart brings to light some details of Mao's personal life such as his failed marriages and abandoned children, but somewhat glosses over his undeniable military leadership abilities.
In 1949, Mao Zedong became the Communist Dictator of China. Mao did achieve some progress, but his arrogance and unwillingness to listen to criticism also created chaos and mayhem especially during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s.
"Mao Zedong" is a fair introduction to the founder of Communist China, but unfortunately it's short length leaves out many vital details of Mao's life.
