China After Mao: The Rise of a Superpower

byFrank Dikötter

From internationally renowned historian Frank Dikötter, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, a myth­-shattering history of China from the death of Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping. China After Mao rests its case on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, making room for uncertainty while explaining what the surviving evidence can establish. China After Mao also examines the assumptions surrounding its subject, connecting them to wider arguments in business & economics and history. The book leaves readers with a clearer understanding of the rise of a superpower and of the unresolved questions that continue beyond its final chapter.
