Deng Xiaoping and the Making of Modern China

About this book

This major study examines Deng Xiaoping's life in the sweeping context of the events of Chinese history: the ascent of Communism, the Long March, the Japanese invasion, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution and Tiananmen Square. Deng emerges from this elegantly written book not only as a steadfast revolutionary spirit, but as, undoubtedly, one of the most influential leaders of the twentieth century.
