    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?

    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.

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

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