## Description

Review: Evil - Firstly, the book is very biased, and the author is very personal. No wonder for that, as anyone whose family would live in that period would be . Read the book for the history of that period it is phenomenal. Book could have been much shorter but author has a point to put so she makes it a point to keep you interested. Now to mao. What to say about this bandit?pure evil.. . Only lesson I got from this book is that who is exploited in this world ? People who do not have power ... So come what may be knowledge in mind and be strong in body.. This book tells about all the evils in communism but don't worry it also tells how America also helped mao get power.. So if you are a weak country looking for a tent to be in communism or capitalism. My answer would be Be strong first and then make your own capitalistic society which benefits the poor ultimately...Do not be in any camp american or Russian...
Review: Shocked - A shocking biography. Reverence by modern Chinese leaders of someone responsible for 70 million deaths is equally shocking.

*by P***R on 26 April 2019*

A shocking biography. Reverence by modern Chinese leaders of someone responsible for 70 million deaths is equally shocking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exhaustive narrative
*by D***S on 8 May 2022*

Found this book to be likeable in the beginning and middle. But as you reach the end it begins to slow down ans repeat itself. However would recommend any “Mao” history buff to give it a read. Enjoy
