Collected Writings of Chairman Mao: Guerrilla Warfare: 2

Product Description

Brilliant and ruthless, his legacy includes guerrilla warfare tactics, violent cultural revolutions, and enduring Communist propaganda. He was named one of the 100 most influential figures of the 20th century by Time Magazine.

Eric Margolis, of the Huffington Post writes of Chairman Mao:

“Mao was an accomplished poet, writer and historian, a profound thinker, and a superb military strategist. He crushed the US-backed Nationalist’s 4.3-million strong armies in a series of titanic battles, forcing his rival, Chiang Kai-shek, to flee to Taiwan… The Great Helmsman united fractured, war-torn China, restoring its pride and self-confidence after two centuries of humiliation. Mao thwarted both Soviet and U.S. efforts to turn China into a client state, and built up China’s military power… Mao’s aides dared not tell him millions were starving. Red Emperor Mao was prodigal with his people’s lives, and, according to aides who were close to him, was shockingly indifferent to their suffering. Mao horrified even brutal Soviet leaders by saying he was prepared to lose half his people to emerge victorious from a nuclear war…

The second volume in this special collection contains three important lectures and essays by Chairman Mao dealing with guerrilla warfare:

*Part 1 – On Guerrilla Warfare
*Part 2 – Problems of Strategy in Guerrilla War against Japan
*Part 3 – On Protracted War
