The Complete Works of Mao Zedong is a multi-book collection of every writing Mao Zedong produced, from the directions he gave his troops and party members to the letters and commentary he wrote before and during his time as Chair of the Chinese Communist Party. I decided to put this series together when I realized no-one has attempted to make a "complete works" series, most books only cover selected works and leave out the more mundane writings, especially those pertaining to party direction and observations. I've also included any speeches and interviews that Mao had with local and international press. The entirety of these writings are available online but if you're anything like me you want a physical book, not only because of the unparalleled feeling of having a physical book but also for the ability to highlight and write notes in the margins. The Third Volume covers the years between 1938 and 1941 . I initially hoped to include all the writings in a single book but publishing restraints and the sheer multitude of writings and speeches limited my options. I hope that this book finds you well and that it can be useful in better understanding one of the most impactful leaders of the 20th century. Works included in this volume: On Protracted War The Role Of The Chinese Communist Party In The National War The Question Of Independence And Initiative Within The United Front We Are For Roosevelt And Against Chamberlain The May Fourth Movement The Orientation Of The Youth Movement To Be Attacked By The Enemy Is Not A Bad Thing But A Good Thing Oppose Capitulationist Activity The Reactionaries Must Be Punished Interview With A New China Daily Correspondent On The New International Situation The Second Imperialist War Interview with Three Correspondents From The Central News Agency The Identity Of Interests Between The Soviet Union And All Mankind Introducing The Communist Youth Needs Experiance The Current Situation And The Party's Tasks Recruit Large Numbers Of Intellectuals The Chinese Revolution And the Chinese Communist Party Stalin, Friend Of The Chinese People In Memory Of Norman Bethune Overcome The Danger Of Capitulation And Strive For A Turn For The Better Unite All Anti-Japanese Forces And Combat The Anti-Communist Die-Hards Ten Demands On The Kuomintang Introducing The Chinese Worker We Must Stress Unity And Progress New-Democratic Constitutional Government On The Question Of Political Power In The Anti-Japanese Base Areas Current Problems Of Tactics In The Anti-Japanese United Front Freely Expand The Anti-Japanese Forces And Resist The Onslaughts Of The Anti Communist Die-Hards Unity To The Very End On Policy Order And Statement On The Southern Anhwei Incident The Situation After The Repulse Of The Second Anti-Communist Onslaught Conclusions On The Repulse Of The Second Anti-Communist Onslaught

Explains why Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, and shows his Machiavellian role in masterminding it. This book documents the Hobbesian state that ensued. Power struggles raged among Lin Biao, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and Jiang Qing - Mao's wife and leader of the Gang of Four - while Mao often played one against the other.

“The most revealing book ever published on Mao, perhaps on any dictator in history.”—Professor Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University From 1954 until Mao Zedong's death twenty-two years later, Dr. Li Zhisui was the Chinese ruler's personal physician, which put him in daily—and increasingly intimate—contact with Mao and his inner circle. in The Private Life of Chairman Mao, Dr. Li vividly reconstructs his extraordinary experience at the center of Mao's decadent imperial court. Dr. Li clarifies numerous long-standing puzzles, such as the true nature of Mao's feelings toward the United States and the Soviet Union. He describes Mao's deliberate rudeness toward Khrushchev and reveals the actual catalyst of Nixon's historic visit. Here are also surprising details of Mao's personal depravity (we see him dependent on barbiturates and refusing to wash, dress, or brush his teeth) and the sexual politics of his court. To millions of Chinese, Mao was more god than man, but for Dr. Li, he was all too human. Dr. Li's intimate account of this lecherous, paranoid tyrant, callously indifferent to the suffering of his people, will forever alter our view of Chairman Mao and of China under his rule. Praise for The Private Life of Chairman Mao “From now one no one will be able to pretend to understand Chairman Mao's place in history without reference to this revealing account.”—Professor Lucian Pye, Massachusetts Institute of Technology “Dr. Li does for Mao what the physician Lord Moran's memoir did for Winston Churchill—turns him into a human being. Here is Mao unveiled: eccentric, demanding, suspicious, unregretful, lascivious, and unfailingly fascinating. Our view of Mao will never be the same again.”—Ross Terrill, author of China in Our Time “An extraordinarily intimate portrait of Mao. [Dr. Li] portrays [Mao's imperial court] as a place of boundless decadence, licentiousness, selfishness, relentless toadying and cutthroat political intrigue.”—Richard Bernstein, The New York Times “One of the most provocative books on Mao to appear since the publication of Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China.”—Paul G. Pickowicz, The Wall Street Journal
