Gave a better understanding about the dynamics between opposing views in the politburo during the cultural revolution. The accounts are somewhat subjective and should be viewed in light of other sources. No clue how this compares to other books, but the rise of deng xiaoping should interest many.

Pathetic garbage of a book. Stay away.
