62280) MAO TSETUNG and China , C. P. FitzGerald , Hodder and Stoughton London 1976 ,
...Is by far the greatest man in the world today probably the greatest in this - century. So writes A. L. Rowse in his foreword to this extraordinary story of Mao`s achievement.

His early life, the famous `Long March` of 1935, the war with Japan, the conflict with Chiang Kai-shek, the establishment of the People`s Republic of China in 1949, the brief interlude of `The Hundred Flowers, the growing rift with Russia, the `Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution - these are some of the ingredients of Professor FitzGerald`s fascinating account of the development of the world`s largest and most populous country from a state of anarchy and chaos to a nation unified in its sense of purpose and already remarkable for its social and technological achievements.

How has this transformation come about?

`The phenomenon of Mao,` says the author, `is one rarely matched in history, and unique in our time. The idea that a figure of this stature should derive from a nation so little known, and until recently largely disregarded, is not always easily entertained by men of European culture and Western way of life. It is none the less a fact to which we must try to grow accustomed.

China is already one of the three powers upon whose policies the future of the world depends. The Chinese themselves reject the aspiration to become a `superpower` - but the life`s work of Mao has perhaps thrust this greatness upon them.
