Mao Cult: Rhetoric and Ritual in China's Cultural Revolution
Leese, Daniel (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen)
Although many books have explored Mao's posthumous legacy, none has scrutinized the massive worship that was fostered around him during the Cultural Revolution. By analyzing secret archival documents, Daniel Leese traces the history of the cult within the Communist Party and at the grassroots level.
