Description for Maoism: A Global History
Review 'Written with wit and insight...�Ms. Lovellsuggests that we trivialize or ignore Maoism at our own peril if we cherish individual rights andfree expression. We were proud to award her book this year�s Cundill History Prize.'�Alan Taylor,�Wall Street Journal�[Maoism�s] history has not been adequately told in one sweeping, accessible book � until now� [Lovell�s] new book covers a vast amount of ground� The book�s greatest strength is its scope. Lovell traveled widely, used archives and conducted interviews in many countries and synthesized the work of scholars in the growing field of global Cold War studies. She demonstrates how Maoism was more than an amorphous idea, but a strategy pushed by China� These are big, hefty chapters, making the book an indispensable guide� An impressive, readable and often startling account of an era that seems so far from our own.��Ian Johnson, New York Times Book Review'Highly readable... Impressive... Well-researched...�Ms. Lovell�s account of the Maoist cult in Europe is sound, and damning...�Maoism�is entertainingly written and beautifully produced.'�George Walden,�The�Wall Street Journal'Julia Lovell has given us a masterful corrective to the greatest misconception about today�s China. For too long, visitors who marveled at China�s new luxuries and capitalist zeal assumed that Maoism had gone the way of its creator. That was a mistake. Lovell�s account�eloquent, engrossing, intelligent�not only explains why Xi Jinping has revived some of Mao�s techniques, but also why Mao�s playbook for the �People�s War� retains an intoxicating and tragic appeal to marginalized people the world over.'�Evan Osnos, National Book Award-winning author of� Age of Ambition'A landmark work giving a�global panorama�of Mao's ideology filled with historic events and�enlivened by�striking characters.'�Jonathan Fenby, author of�The Penguin History of Modern China'Surprisingly, the story of Maoism outside China has never been told. Now, at last, we have this scintillating, sweeping narrative. It is a book packed with jaw-dropping stories, told with the pace and punch of a thriller. Chilling, but exhilaratingly readable, as a warning from history this book could not be more timely.'�Michael Wood, historian and broadcaster�'An exciting and eye-opening account of Maoism's worldwide spread.'--The Daily Telegraph'Exceptional...[H]arrowing, fascinating and occasionally hilarious...Smooth and cautious, almost wily in how the awful and the unbelievable are counterpointed.'--Scotland on Sunday Read more About the Author JULIA LOVELL is Professor of Modern China at Birkbeck College, University of London.
