MAN WHO CHANGED CHINA, THE - THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF JIANG ZEMIN

In 'The Man Who Changed China', Kuhn, who was cited by the Asian Wall Street Journal for the 'unprecedented access' he was given in the course of writing this book, has produced what the Journal called 'probably the closest thing to an authorized biography that’s possible in Communist China'. Here a reader will find a complex and nuanced portrait of China’s senior leader, whose policies continue to exert great influence over the course of his country. Kuhn offers insight into how the Japanese occupation during Jiang’s teenage years imprinted his psyche for life, how he became a Communist, and how, decades later, he struggled to transform the Party in the face of withering criticism.
