★☆☆☆☆
Stupid.
Any book like this is stupid. Mao made a lot of mistakes that is true. People suffered during the culture revolution and things like that. However any sane historian should also see the much more bright side of Mao. People suffer much more before Mao and without Mao people in China right now might possibly live miserably. This book is just a simple and stupid American/Western point of view without fully understanding of China. So I agreed, this book should change its title to I HATE MAO.
