"Quotations From Chairman Mao Tse-tung," published for the Peoples Liberation Army by then Marshal Lin Piao, and later for the people of China, is a basic handbook of Mao Tse-tung Thought. Read it with devotion if you uphold its ideals, read it for information if you reject its ideals, but read it, and learn more about one of the most influential leaders (for better or for worse) in all of world history.

What does it take to motivate a nation in crisis? This book is a key to understanding that question and many more. Chaiman Mao's picture still looks out over Tianemen Square and from there over the world. It was the man, obviously, but his vision of humanity, of political order and the nature of change still resonates in every political debate.
Right and wrong, good and bad, are artificial measures and open for debate, what is not, is Chairman Mao's enduring presence long after his death.
Read this to understand the nature of power and influence, and then have a look at modern chinese history, start from arround the time of the Opium wars, see the fundamental effect Mao's life and vision has had on the world's next super power.

The Little Red Book, as the Quotations is otherwise known, is a collection of statements by Mao Tse-Tung, covering a variety of subjects, from the role of the communist party, war, and class struggle, to art, women's liberation, and philosophy. It is not a developed analysis of the subjects it discusses. The book is a collection of quotes from the speeches, statements and books written by Mao, that are separated thematically into small chapters.
As a document of understanding the thought of Mao, the little red book is very limited. It was used primarily as propaganda, and as a quick reference book on the Maoist line on different subjects. I would not advice it in order to understand Mao himself, but as a document in understanding Maoism as an ideology, and the modern history of China, this is an essential. It is easy to read, relatively simple in language, and small in length. I finished it in a day.
The edition is quite good. Its small size reflects the image in which the book was first distributed. In includes a contents page, and an image of Mao. There is no index, but there is no real need for it since the chapters are so small anyway. There is also no introduction. In a sense, it is a faithful copy of the original in English.
I give this book 5 stars because it has become an important historical document.
