Acclaim for Jung Chang and Jon Hallidays MAO THE UNKNOWN STORY - photo 1

Acclaim for Jung Chang and Jon Hallidays

MAO

THE UNKNOWN STORY

Provocative. It moves at a brisk pace and is filled with evocative descriptions of dramatic events.

Chicago Tribune

Amazing. It is hard to imagine a more thoroughly researched biography. Powerful and absorbing.

The New York Sun

If any single book in our own time has the capacity to change the course of history, this is it. The story is so shocking that reading it literally takes your breath away.

The New Criterion

No reader can be unmoved by this books passion, or unimpressed by the mountain of evidence upon which it rests. This is the book that will wreck Maos reputation beyond salvage.

Commentary

Groundbreaking. Meticulous and comprehensive. An excoriating portrait.

Vogue

An entertaining and, for the big picture, an ultimately informative book about a figure ever ready for reexamination.

Time

Mind-boggling. Copiously researched brimming with interviews and facts. This astonishing book is a must-read.

THE UNKNOWN STORY

Jung Chang was born in Yibin, Sichuan Province, China, in 1952. During the Cultural Revolution (19661976) she worked as a peasant, a barefoot doctor, a steelworker, and an electrician before becoming an English-language student and, later, an assistant lecturer at Sichuan University. She left China for Britain in 1978 and was subsequently awarded a scholarship by the University of York, where she obtained a Ph.D. in linguistics in 1982, the first person from the Peoples Republic of China to receive a doctorate from a British university. Her award-winning book, Wild Swans, was published in 1991, and has sold more than 10 million copies in thirty languages.

Jon Halliday is a former Senior Visiting Research Fellow at Kings College, University of London. He has written or edited eight previous books.
