and Jon Halliday
A big book that catalogues the crimes against his own people, committed by an evil genius who used communism (like Stalin) to attain absolute power over a quarter of mankind, through ruthless disregard for anyone in his way - "I eat a lot and I shit a lot." - yet managed to die in his bed. This well researched though biased account had to be written as the Mao myth is still perpetuated. Essential reading.
