Product Description:
From 1954 until Mao Zedong's death 22 years later. Dr. Li Zhisui was the Chinese ruler's personal physician. For most of these years, Mao was in excellent health; thus he and the doctor had time to discuss political and personal matters.

The author vividly describes the life of Mao, which has been masterfully covered up or hidden by the successive Chinese authorities.

This was a surprisingly engrossing read. It pulled the curtain back on one of the most consequential figures of the 20th century and provided insight into the Chinese culture and citizenry.
