Contents Description:

The character and significance of the Cultural Revolution which Mao Tse-tung initiated in 1966, bringing a new and wild turbulence to Chinese political life, has been hotly debated and diversely interpreted by Sinologists, but most Westerners have been thoroughly baffled by the phenomenon. In 1967 Alberto Moravia, one of Europe's foremost literary personalities, went to China and took a long, reflective look at the Chinese people, studied the Red Guards in action, saw and felt at first hand the hypnotic and pervasive effect of Mao. - from the back cover
