Product Description
Published by Pelican Uk, 1968 (describing events mthat were just occurring) this book seeks to explain the ( bizarre) Cultural Revolution by someone with a longstanding understanding and broad leftist outlook. It has the limitation of being written before the issues are really clear or resolved ( the book ends with a postcript in Oct 1968 )Its strength is that it is written by someone who is trying to help explain to outsiders from the stand point of the real issues from the chinese experience ; using direct interviews of those involved ( all government approved, naturally)
