i want this book!

i have always been fascinated by mao tse-tung. it must be the whatever-small-percent chinese in me. i think the period of the cultural revolution is one of the most interesting in history. i have seen some wonderful movies about it, read some books about it, even took an elective on that period in history; but i never quite encountered a book solely on the life of mao--until now. i can't wait to get to fully booked ASAP to buy it! unless someone is going to buy it for me. (ahahaha! as if!) or LL is going to buy it and lend it to me...? but i'm really very excited to read it soon!
