Mao was an evil man that led an evil regime and, without a care, directly or indirectly contributed to the peacetime deaths of tens of millions of his own people. There is no justification for that. If you want to know the how and why then this book is highly recommended.

Eine gelungene Biographie über den Gründer der VR China. Es war mir nur ansatzweise bewusst, wie empathie- und rücksichtslos dieser Mann war. Er passt wunderbar in die Ruhmeshalle der Massenmörder rein.
