I hope so. But not everyone does. I’m kind of an evangelist on the topic. I was very impressed with this book. It’s natural to think Mao was a Hitler-like Svengali that mislead the masses. The truth is he couldn’t even give a decent speech. He glommed onto the hard work of others (evil work as it was) and seized the reins of power.
