Editorial Reviews

Review

Hunt ... asks us to put Chinese policy into historical perspective. As a specialist in the late Qing history looking at mid-twentieth-century China, he contends that Mao and his generation of Chinese Communist leaders were products of the Qing experience, of the humiliations China suffered in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.... Non-specialists will be treated to elegant writing, shrewd insights into the mind of Mao, and interesting ... arguments about Chinese Communist policies. -- Times Literary Supplement
