‘The Strategy of Maoism in the West is a provocative, probing work
that maps the ongoing ideological influence of Mao’s revolutionary
message beyond post-World War II Asia. The authors, well-respected
strategists whose study of insurgency and terrorism has been
noteworthy for their fresh and innovative thinking, have produced
another work of unique erudition and perspicacity.’
*Bruce Hoffman, Georgetown University, US*
‘This insightful volume exposes the influence of Maoism on left
wing intellectuals in the West. Jones and Smith reveal how not just
Mao’s thought but the anti-democratic and often inhumane practices
that came to be associated with China's Cultural Revolution are
today being rehabilitated in woke form. This superb book is a
must-read for anyone wanting to understand what lies behind today's
dominant political trends.’
*Joanna Williams, Founder and Director of Cieo, UK*
‘An excellent expose of the neo-Maoist roots of rage in the West
today that has sustained a nihilistic campaign against Western
society and state, and which endangers the very democratic
liberalism that we value but have taken for granted. A must-read
for everyone concerned with what our future holds.’
*Andrew Tan, Macquarie University, Australia*
