Product Description
Product Description
Mao Zedong (1893-1976) went from being a poor farmer's son to a revolutionary leader, a general in World War II and the ruler of the world's most populous nation. Alternately glorified and demonised, not only in the Western world, but also in the China that he once ruled, his influence persists to this day. This new biography will capitalise on new information that has recently come to light about his private life (and his several wives), with the publication of memoirs by his doctor and former nurse, among others. It will also reach bookstores with time to spare before the Beijing Olympics in 2008, bringing ample opportunity for the sale of foreign rights.

He studied Chinese and Japanese at the University of Leeds. The First Emperor, his biography of the leader Mao most admired, will be published by Sutton in spring 2006.
