well written and educating about the life in China from the war against Japan to the civil war, and the communist time. Highly recommended if you want to learn about China through a story,
Jonathan Spence's biography of Mao was my first experience with the new Penguin Lives series, and I was unsure what to expect. Certainly, one cannot expect too much from a biography of one of the major political figures of the 20th century that offers only 178 pages of text and 10 pages of endnotes. But I was game to try it, since I knew very little about Mao and gathered I would learn a lot in a relatively short time from this biography.Spence certainly succeeds in compressing most of the major events of Mao's life into this thin volume, and concisely reviews much of Mao's political thought and how it evolved. He also does a good job of mining source materials, particularly some of Mao's more obscure writing and poetry. But my major frustration in reading this book was a feeling that I never learned much about Mao as an individual human being, except that he came from obscure bourgeois peasant roots, that he was "married" at least four times and had at least ten children with whom he had rather distant relationships, and that as the years passed, he became more and more of a megalomaniac. I would also fault the book for giving minimal attention to the history of the times and to Mao's principal comrades in arms. (For example, Zhou Enlai does not appear until the final quarter of the book and gets minimal mention at that. The Long March gets only 2-3 pages.) Also somehwat curious is that the book lacks an index.All of that said, however, this is a remarkably informative book given its length. I should emphasize that the text on each page measures lightly under 6 x 4 inches, too--so not only is it a short book, but also a small book. I put the book down eager to learn more about Mao, which I suppose does commend it to other readers who know as little as I did before I read it.
I didn't know much about Mao before reading this biography, and I thought it was a fascinating page-turner that humanizes the icon. It is true that there is a lot of focus on Mao's early years, but those formative years help us to make sense of the Mao of the Little Red Book. How could such a totalitarian dictator develop as a person? Where did he come from and how do we make sense of his life in the context of his times? This biography answers those questions and more. The book is authoritative, comprehensive, and fun to read.
Good introduction to the life of Mao but certainly not complete (which 'Penguin Lives' are not intended to be). It would be nice to see J.Spence tackle this subject in more depth since he is one of the foremost sinologists writing today. However, if your looking for a fair, well researched and brief overview of the life of Mao- this is it.As an added note I would like to say that the book is neither 'specious' nor condecending to Chinese people as some xenophobic reviewers would have you believe.
I don't know anything about Mao, and I've been reading other long books on WWII, so this was pretty much what I was looking for, something brief. If you're in the same boat, just getting started, this might be the book for you, since it is longer and more detailed than an online article.At the same time, its brevity can make the sequence of events a little confusing at times - I mean, because of the gaps. This came up a couple of times for me but the one I really remember was not really following Mao's shift to military leader. That was kind of sudden in this short book.I read the Kindle version and it had incorrect letters, extra spaces, things like that. I understand that in some older books with a smaller audience, but it does not seem right for this publisher.I have to admit I would like to have seen an epilogue about the winding down of the Cultural Revolution, given its significance.
Mao was a man of ideals, incredible bravery and perseverance, and magnetism. He united China and raised the status of women magnificently. He was a visionary until he reached power, then for a quarter of a century he had no idea what to do with it, and nearly destroyed all his work. Spence shows all this in an interesting and convincing way. I definitely learned a lot about both sides of this controversial man. (then read China's Economy by Kroeber which shows how Deng saved the day after Mao.)

In the Penguin Lives series, I've previously read short biographies of Beethoven, Churchill, da Vinci, Dickens, and Napoleon. In each of these, the author touches on the highpoints of a great career while developing an approach that enlivens his or her subject. Smiley and Morris, for example, convey the miracle of Dickens and Beethoven through their informed awe. Keegan brings Churchill to the page through generous use of anecdote and snippets from his inspirational speeches. Johnson makes Napoleon real by positioning him as the template for 20th century totalitarianism. Finally, Dr. Nuland takes a contrarian approach--da Vinci as an anatomist--that does brings an aspect of his unique genius to light.MAO ZEDONG differs from these Penguin Lives biographies because Jonathan Spence, IMHO, never really transcends a basic chronological approach to his subject. While this approach has value for readers (like me) who have a mere headline-news grasp of 20th century Chinese history, this doesn't really get the man onto the page. Instead, what the reader gets is Mao's activities in times of relentless warfare, as well as profound political, economic, and cultural change. Spence shows the vast landscape change. But Mao, the man, and why he chooses to be irresponsible, reckless, evil, and/or great, isn't really in the book. In this biography, he's just too remote and historical.Nonetheless, Spence provides an excellent introduction. There, he observes that Mao seemed most comfortable within a world shaped by "order's opposite, the world of misrule." Here, Spence is referring to the European Middle Ages, when "great households chose a Lord of Misrule" who "presided over revels that briefly reversed or parodied the conventional social and economic hierarchies." Later, Spence observes: "It was Mao's terrible accomplishment to seize on such insights from earlier Chinese philosophers, combine them with elements drawn from Western socialist thought, and to use both in tandem to prolong the limited concept of misrule into a long-drawn-out adventure in upheaval."Read this short biography. But you might find, like me, that as Spence tells Mao's story, it doesn't exactly fall into this context.Rounded up to four stars.
I now need to set off and read something other than the footnoted references to the major episodes of The Great Leap Forward and The Cultural Revolution. but good coverage of his childhood.
