From 1954 until Mao Zedongs death 22 years later, Dr Li Zhisui was the Chinese rulers personal physician, which put him in almost daily-& increasingly intimate-contact with Mao & his inner circle. For most of these years, Maos health was excellent. Thus he & the doctor had time to discuss political & personal matters. Dr Li recorded many of these conversations in his diaries as well as in memory. In The Private Life of Chairman Mao he reconstructs his experience. The result is a book that will profoundly alter views of Mao & of China under his rule. Dr Li clarifies numerous long-standing puzzles, such as the true nature of Maos feelings toward the USA & USSR. He describes Maos deliberate rudeness toward Khrushchev when the Soviet leader paid his secret visit to Beijing in 1958, & how he came to invite the American table tennis team to China, a decision that led to Nixons historic visit a few months later. We also learn why Mao took the Great Leap Forward, which resulted in the worst famine in recorded history, & his equally strange reason for risking war with the USA by shelling the Taiwanese islands of Quemoy & Matsu. Dr Li supplies portraits of Zhou Enlai & other leaders. He describes Maos relationship with his wife & gives us insight into the sexual politics of his court. We witness Maos bizarre death & the strange events following it. Dr Li tells of Maos remarkable gift for intimacy, as well as of his indifference to the suffering of millions of his fellow Chinese, including old comrades. Readers will find here an account of Maos personal life & of such details as his sleeping arrangements & drug dependencies.
