Wind in the tower : Mao tsetung & the Chinese revolution

---

Wind in the Tower completes Han Suyin's monumental biography of Mao Tsetung; it is the culmination of the only history of the Chinese Revolution complete with the life story of that revolution's architect.
The first volume, The Morning Deluge, followed Mao's career through World War Il and the struggle against Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang forces. The present volume covers the building stage of the continuing revolution, from its triumph in 1949 to the current thaw in relations with the United States. The scope of the book is enormous: the shift of administration from the People's Liberation Army to civilian control; the Great Leap Forward (an accelerated revolution within the revolution);
Let a Hundred Flowers Bloom (the encouragement of debate inside an authoritarian governmeni); the rift with the Soviet Union; armed conflict with India; the cultural revolution; and the wars in Indochina.
Dr. Han clarifies many of the confusing shifts in Chinese domestic and foreign policy by stressing Mao's concern for the purity of the revolution, his effort to save the Chinese Revolution from what he considers has ensnared the Russian one: allowing a new, technocratic ruling class to take power.
Mao's life is inseparable from the
"continuous high drama" of China s trans-formation. If one seeks to understand the significance of either the man or the historical movement, it is necessary to examine their interchange. Han Suyin traces the development of Mao's living ideas as they have been felt and implemented by the Chinese people, and pays close attention to emotional components of the revolution and cultural nuances.
Consequently her achievement is both spirited history and powerful biography.
