Finally available in a superb English translation, How the Red Sun
Rose is the masterwork of the esteemed, independent, and
controversial historian Gao Hua, who was based at Nanjing
University before his tragic death in 2012. Banned in China, this
book is a must read for all who want to understand the trademark
strategies deployed by Mao Zedong to achieve, maintain, and expand
his political control both within the Communist Party and
throughout Chinese society.--Paul G. Pickowicz, University of
California, San Diego
This lucid translation of Gao Hua's seminal study of the Yan'an
rectification movement and the rise of Mao Zedong to paramount
leadership of the Chinese Communist Party is a major contribution
to international scholarship. The Chinese edition of How the Red
Sun Rose set the standard for truly scholarly studies of Party
history among PRC scholars ever since the first edition came out in
2000, and it still has not been surpassed. International scholars
of modern China and of comparative politics will benefit from this
authoritative translation and its many explanatory notes. General
readers will enjoy Professor Gao's engaging writing.--Timothy
Cheek, University of British Columbia
