Description:
Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press, 1996. An exploration of the so called 'Lin Biao Affair' in mid 20th century China - the meteoric rise, tragic fall and death in a plane crash of Marsahall Lin Biao, once Chairman Mao Zedong's annointed sucsessor. The authors describe Lin not as the power-hungry radical and Mao's would-be assassin of conventional Chinese history, but rather as a politically unambitious moderate, who fell afoul of Mao for complex reasons unrelated to his own actions. A fascinating and thoroughly researched work for all with interest in contemporary Chinese history. Cover fine; tape residue marks on front and rear endpapers. Interior pages fine/unread. xvi, 251 pp., 14 b&w photos, detailed chronology of Lin's career, bibliography, index.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near fine/Fine. 21 x 14 cm..
