Origins of the Cultural Revolution
«Professor MacFarquhar's account throughout is necessarily very detailed and his analysis is consistently thorough. It is extremely well written, with a lively style befitting the unpredictability and excitement of the events described ... it deserves to be read not only by specialists but also by students and others with a more general interest in modern China. Kenneth C. Walker, Asian Affairs»

«This third massive volume completes what is perhaps the most ambitious effort yet undertaken to unravel why and how this great and confusing event came about. Despite the enormous amount of information MAcFarquhar has unearthed, much of it new, he is unable to shed light on the psychology of the leaders. As MacFarquhar makes clear, many terrible things which came to the attention of the world during the Cultural Revolution had started long before.»
Jasper Becker - London Review of Books
«MacFarquhar's narrative is unflaggingly exciting... His character-drawing is convincing; dramatic turning-points are made the most of; the material factors are firmly grasped... the concluding volume of a trilogy designed to chart the background of the Cultural Revolution. It has had the great advantage... of being able to make use of a flood of new or newly accessible informaqtion from Chinese sources.»
