Abstract

The seeds of China's reform period after Mao had been planted in "On the Ten Major Relationships", a secret speech Mao gave in 1956. Dikötter, who has written more than a dozen books about China since the communist revolution, is a commanding narrator of the story: of Mao's maneuvering to secure his legacy, and of Deng's to save the party. China after Mao: The Rise of a Superpower, by Frank Dikötter (Bloomsbury, 416 pp., $30.00) The Cultural Revolution, Mao Zedong's last grand scheme, was finally petering out, having ravaged the People's Republic of China.
