{"product_id":"mao-the-man-who-made-china-9781350376724","title":"Mao: The Man Who Made China","description":"One of the great figures of the twentieth century, Chairman Mao looms irrepressibly over the economic rise of China. Mao Zedong was the leader of a revolution, a communist who lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, an aggressive and distrustful leader, and a man responsible for more civilian deaths than perhaps any other historical figure. Now, four decades after Mao's death, acclaimed biographer Philip Short presents a fully updated and revised edition of his ground-breaking and masterly biography. Vivid, uncompromising and unflinching, Short presents in one-volume the man behind the propaganda - his family, his beliefs and his horrors. In doing so he shows us both the human being Mao was, and the monster he became.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350376724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 2.10d","brand":"Philip Short","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766665478325,"sku":"9781350376724","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mao-the-man-who-made-china-9781350376724","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
