It’s brief, 5 hrs and 11 mins, and fairly concise. I myself wasn’t ready to listen to the over 5 hours of audio on this subject, so in that sense, this is kind of a great audiobook - you can learn some about Mao, China, and the beginning of communism across the 20th century, but not be confused or bogged down in excessive detail.

This audiobook was very powerful and enlightening. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Chinese and/or even American history.

A Good History Audible

I read other versions and it had wrong letters, extra spaces, things like that. I understand that in some older books with a more modest audience, but it does not seem right for this publisher. I have to admit I would like to have seen a conclusion about the winding down of the Cultural Revolution, given its importance.

Informative and concise

An excellent. A window into Hell. Inhumanity and confusion were arranged by Mao to solidify his power.

Fascinating and horrifying

It is detailed and at the same time, its compression can make the sequence of events a little confusing at times - I mean, because of the ways. This came up a couple of times for me but the one I actually remember was not really following Mao's shift to a military leader. That was kind of sudden in this audiobook.

Detailed and Confusing.
