Mao Tse Tung deflowered thousands of young virgins in his pursuit for living longer according to Chinese beliefs
Mao was filthy beyond words...literally, never brushing his teeth, but destroying lives in ways that were demonic.
There was a woman in love with him whom he abandoned. Years later he contacted her out of curiosity. I don’t remember exactly, but after a very short visit, he abandoned her again. She went insane.
The book takes us beyond nameless faces in a way that will grip your heart.
Besides the fact that Mao ordered mass killing and starvation at a government scale, another reason to really, really dislike the man.
