Publisher's Synopsis
Mao Tse-Tung, Selected Works V1: 1926-1936 is a book that compiles the writings and speeches of Mao Tse-Tung, one of the most influential figures in modern Chinese history. The book covers the period from 1926 to 1936, a time when Mao was actively involved in organizing and leading the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its struggle against the Nationalist government.The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a particular aspect of Mao's thinking and leadership. The first section includes Mao's early writings on the peasant movement and the need for a revolutionary strategy that would take into account the specific conditions of the Chinese countryside. The second section covers Mao's role in the Long March, a grueling retreat by the CCP from its base in southern China to the remote northwestern province of Shaanxi. In this section, Mao reflects on the challenges of leading a guerrilla army through hostile terrain and under constant threat of attack from Nationalist forces.Other sections of the book cover Mao's views on the role of the CCP in Chinese society, his critiques of the Nationalist government, and his analysis of the international situation, particularly the rise of fascism in Europe. Throughout the book, Mao's writing is marked by a combination of revolutionary fervor, strategic insight, and a deep commitment to the cause of the Chinese people.Overall, Mao Tse-Tung, Selected Works V1: 1926-1936 offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most important figures of the 20th century, and provides valuable insights into the history of China and the global struggle for social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
