The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962—1976

The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962–1976 is a groundbreaking book that sheds new light on China's most tumultuous era.

Drawing from hundreds of previously classified party documents, the book provides an unvarnished look at the political chaos and violence that defined this period.

Despite the often-repeated notion of complete conformity during this time, The Cultural Revolution reveals how ordinary people used the political chaos to resurrect the market and hollow out the party's ideology.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of China's recent history and its ongoing struggle to balance economic reform with political stability.
