The Cultural Revolution / The Communist Revolution (in China)?

I'm interested in this time period, but I am sadly uninformed about any great books about it. :(

I've already read Life and Death in Shanghai by Nien Cheng, but that's it.

Any recommendations?

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0385425473/qid=1078106876//ref=pd_ka_1/102-3813792-2506533?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)

falling leaves, but i can't rmemeber who it's by... Adaline Yen Meh, i think

do a quick search on the net, much much quicker.

type CHINA, REVOLUTION, BOOKLIST ?

Thanks, goofyfish and PhiloNysh. :) I appreciate it.

Nebuchadnezzaar, yes, I know I can find books like that, but I would rather look at books that have been read by people here at sciforums, and who think that they're good ... just reading a biased review isn't always enough. ;)

Not all reviews are biased, Amazon.com rarely goes wrong for me, you should try it out. :rolleyes:

Heh, yeah, but I'd still rather have recommendations from people here than from entirely anonymous people on the internet ...

anonymous? huh? do you know people on this forum?

I know them better than people on Amazon.com. (Most of the time.)
