Deng Xiaoping: A Revolutionary Life

23 July, 2015
Author: AV Pantsov & SL Levine
Genre: Biography
Category: New Books

Recommended by Nicky Dunne: 'Deng Xiaoping got away with murder, and on a massive scale. Yet his reputation as a kind of moderate, particularly in the post-Mao era, has endured. Until now. This superb biography using many hitherto unexplored Russian sources shatters numerous myths. Deng’s inhumanity is exposed, cloaked in an iron self-righteousness.'
