For even cursory students of the s, Evan Thomas’ new book, “Ike’s Bluff: President Eisenhower’s Secret Battle to Save the World,” offers little in the way of fresh material. Every Chinese received a copy of Mao's Little Red Book of quotations, which had to be carried and brandished on all public occasions. In effect, Maoism became the compulsory state religion.

Spence's major focus is this remarkable ascension to power, so readers who want to learn more specifics about the Cultural Revolution, for example, or Mao's later life and death will be disappointed. However, this book's inclusion in the Penguin series indicates that it is an respectable resource. Mao was not born among the poorest Chinese.
