Small bit of age wear to dust jacket, otherwise nice clean copy inside and out. From the back cover: "Shanghai in the 1920s was a society of excess, almost perfectly designed to let Chinese and Westerners see each other at their worst. In (this book) Nicholas Clifford draws on a wide range of diplomatic and police documents to show just why this should have been so. This is an absorbing tale of privilege, exploitation and resentment--one that adds a fresh dimension to our studies of a decade that proved central to China's modern history."

"From 1954 until Mao Zedong's death twenty~two years later, Dr. Li Zhisui was the Chinese ruler's personal physician, which put him in almost daily~and increasingly intimate~contact with Mao and his inner circle. For most of these years, Mao's health was excellent; thus he and the doctor had time to discuss political and personal matters. Dr. Li recorded many of these conversations in his diaries as well as in his memory. In The Private Life of Chairman Mao he vividly reconstructs his extraordinary experience."
