Review

“Karl’s history offers readers a chance to see China as Mao might have seen it. She implicitly begs the reader to ask, what might Mao, whose portrait still looks out over Tiananmen Square, have thought of China as it rises today? And perhaps more importantly, does it matter? Given the proliferation of interest and intrigue surrounding Mao Zedong’s life, Karl’s history included, the CCP has done wonders to maintain the authority he created while forsaking the China he imagined.” - Angilee Shah, Zócalo Public Square‘[A] reasonably balanced, clear-headed survey of the Great Helmsman’s career and influence. . . . [I]f I had a class of young students approaching the period for the first time, I’d consider this book a not inappropriate textbook to hand them. And by the same measure it can also be recommended to the educated general reader.” - Bradley Winterton, Taipei Times“Rebecca Karl’s important new biography seeks to contextualize Mao within the history of his time, aiming to restore a degree of sanity in discussing his life and role, warts and all, as the father of modern China; and simultaneously to rescue the history of the Chinese Revolution from its detractors in the West and at home.” - Tariq Ali, New Left Review“Rebecca Karl provokes both China scholars and the general public to reassess the Chairman once again. Karl’s book departs from the tendencies to either depoliticize Mao or sensationalize his private life for popular consumption by recentering contemporary discussions around his public role in making revolution.” - Jeremy Tai, Twentieth-Century China“Unlike many other works, [Karl’s] book blends historical facts with cultural analysis, creating a work that is informative despite its brevity. . . . After bringing Mao’s life-story to a close, the author provides a succinct yet meaningful analysis of his legacies. . . . [T]his is a very useful introduction to the most important leader in modern Chinese history.” - Survival“In this succinct and compact narrative of Mao’s personal and intellectual development, Rebecca E. Karl offers an impressive exposition of the formation and evolution of the theory and practice of the Chinese Revolution. Her analysis of ideological tenets in China's revolutionary movement is convincing and more sophisticated than other narratives of Mao’s life and thought.”—Ban Wang, author of Illuminations from the Past: Trauma, Memory, and History in Modern China“Rebecca E. Karl has written a lively, readable account of Mao’s life and thought, showing how they fit into and affected the twentieth-century world.”—Delia Davin, author of Mao Zedong“Karl’s history offers readers a chance to see China as Mao might have seen it.

My undergraduate cultural revolution history course prof. designated this book as the intro text that gives an overview of Mao and modern Chinese history. I don't think there is anything factually wrong in the book (I have read 3 chapters so far), but certain characterization and grouping of facts are objectionable to me.So I went to read the preface, and I found an interesting passage (yeah, read the ENTIRE preface before you buy this book):"One motivation for writing this book was personal. It is dedicated to my nephew ... and my nieces ... who face so many challenges, in part as legacies of the historical moment discussed here. The world they and their generation will inherit is much poorer for what has been called the project of disutopia, which is 'not just he temporary absence of Utopia, but the political celebration of the end of social dreams.' (Zizek, Repeating Lenin, 9). This book introduces a historical moment when fundamental global transformation could be thought. It is a moment I admire. Yet, I harbor no illusion that the specific projects toward which Mao Zedong worked are appropriate or even sufficient for today or for his world. I am optimistic, though, something of his philosophy, passion, and historical method can be retrieved for a rethinking of our present."I, for one, do not want to have anything to do with Mao's philosophy, passion and historical method except for analyzing them in their context, understanding them, and throwing them in the dumpster of history along with other radicals' fantastical thoughts.

A nice, concise (just as the title says) history of Mao Zedong's China. I found it useful for students in my IB History course for short, weekly readings. I think it could also be useful in a survey course of Chinese history at the undergraduate level. It has nice hits of information, as well as some good insight into the man himself.

great price

I’m surprised. This was a very balanced portrayal of Mao and China today. I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in history, economics, or philosophy.

Great read, A really good synopsis of the communist history of China, in relation to Mao

A very informative piece of scholarly work, presented in an interesting way. I haven't completely finished it yet; this is a very dense work, and requires me to re-read some portions in order to put them in context. I spent quite a bit of time in China, post-Mao of course, and am interested in how a people can still almost worship a historic figure and yet acknowledge his drastic errors. This book compiles information that is scattered. I recommend it for the serious student of China today and how it got that way.

It's short, sweet, and to the point. The author has a voice behind it, I like that, too. But honestly, it's just really informational as well as easy to read.

A look at China's history through the life of Mao Zedong. Essential to understand it. A pleasant read -- and you do want to read more -- yet rigorously historic. I enjoyed reading it.
