Mao: The Unknown Story Chang, Jung Summary A biography of of Mao Zedong taken from the perspective of his relationship to women. A biography of of Mao Zedong taken from the perspective of his relationship to women. The normal biographical elements make up the majority of the text but when there is an interesting aspect regarding Mao's attitude toward women, Jung Chang (a woman) goes for it. For example... any normal biography of Mao, would take account of the movements of Mao's army as he took control of China but it is interesting that his army camped outside the town where his wife and son lived (had been abandoned, frankly) and he made no effort whatsoever to meet them. Little things like that give the reader insight into the character of Mao... along with his mass murders, of course. Perfect for fans of World History, History, Historical Biographies starting 1901, Philosopher Biographies, Social & Urban History Biographies.
