Media Reviews
A fascinating portrait. . . . Wildly successful in his global search for new sources . . . Terrill has produced the most complete biography that in all likelihood will ever be published on the fatally flawed yet fascinating Madame Mao. -- Philadelphia Inquirer
A magnificent display of investigative reporting, research, and reconstruction. . . . It throws much light on the madness of China's Cultural Revolution. . . . Remarkable pictures of life in Mao's 'inner court' during his declining years. -- New York Newsday
