How about
Mao: The Unknown Story By Jung Chang and Jon Halliday.??
It was reviewed by Nicolas Kristoff in the Sunday Times:
......a biography of Mao that will help destroy his reputation forever. Based on a decade of meticulous interviews and archival research, this magnificent biography methodically demolishes every pillar of Mao's claim to sympathy or legitimacy
I know it will shatter a lot of the allusions, ideals and (a)moral underpinnings of the looney left who troll these boards, but for the rest of us it might be a nice cautionary warning of the continued danger of communism, the RedChinese and the Clintons.
Thoughts?
