Last of the Chinese Revolutionaries Dies
By Townie 76
From today's Daily Telegraph the obit of the last of the revolutionary leaders of China. I have been fascinated by the revolution waged by Mao, and in particular the long march. Mao was like most Communists--he was a brutal dictator, however he was a genius at conveying the message of Communism to the Chinese peasant. I would commend, if you are interested in this period of Chinese History, Barbara Tuchman, Stillwell and the American Experience in China.
