Born Red A Chronicle of the Cultural Revolution

It is a terrible story, demonstrating that Mao and his crazed coterie were able to cripplee Chinese society for ten years, as well as cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, because they had plenty of help from the masses." -- Politics " Gao' s moving account, which is surprisingly even-handed, viividly captures the pervasive sense of fear and uncertainty that washed over China during the tumultuous period from 1966-1969." -- Houston ChronicleGao Yuan is the author of 'Born Red A Chronicle of the Cultural Revolution' with ISBN 9780804713689 and ISBN 0804713685.
