Collections of primary sources on Mao Zedong and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) history, written by the Communists themselves, are readily available, but as these are unreliable many questions remain. What were Mao's real objectives, and were they consistent? Did Mao manipulate the movement to his own ends? Did Mao play the crucial role, or was he a figurehead? Where is Chinese communism going next? This new "Routledge Major Work" will help find some of the answers, bringing together the best scholarship, reportage and other materials. Comprehensively indexed and with an introduction newly written by the editor, a leading expert in the field, "Mao Zedong and the Chinese Revolution" is sure to be recognized as a vital reference resource for all serious Mao scholars.
