Quotations From Chairman Mao Tsetung
Marjy avatar reviewed on + 34 more book reviews


Reportedly one of the best-selling books of the 20th Century (being a dictator does have its advantages), "Quotations" is a collection of pithy sayings from Chairman Mao, culled from the great man's extensive oeuvre. You might call it the Cliff's Notes version of Mao, intended for people who want only the really important bits from charmingly titled tomes like "People of the World, Unite and Defeat the U.S. Aggressors and All Their Lackeys."
