Once described by Mao Zedong as a "needle inside a ball of cotton", Deng was the pragmatic yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical transformation in the late 20th century. He confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the policies that had stunted China's growth. Obsessed with modernization, Deng opened trade relations with the West, which lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet he also answered to his authoritarian roots, most notably when he ordered the crackdown in 1989 at Tiananmen Square.

One of the best books, one of the best politicians
Revisado: 05-29-21
Have read it nearly 10 times and been waiting for the audio release during 5 years.
I bow to academic Ezra F. Vogel – God bless his soul; thank the publisher Tantor Audio and Audible.
The author’s depth of analysis, professionalism and talent are such that you want to return to this book like to Lee Kuan Yew’s.
USA cannot survive by keeping its people in the dark, here – in silence, about the best books about the best politicians because of the deep state egotistic considerations.
Maybe it is time to let the audios of the Lee Kuan Yew’s books?

Everything you've heard about it is true. First a sensational, best-selling novel... then a shocking motion picture...and now a powerful audio book brilliantly read by Juliet Mills. Three beautiful women achieve success beyond their wildest dreams in the glittering world of show business. Juliet Mills brings them to life unforgettably as she recounts their dramatic ascent to the top and their dizzying plummet into despair in the Valley of The Dolls.

The story is worth not to be abridged
Revisado: 09-17-14
Abridgment is a vivisection in substance.
It is a cutting from alive body. A reader is left with a plot and denied of thoughts, feelings,particulars, i.e. the art, the literature. He'd better read a review.
As for a writer, Martin Eden preferred to stay hungry than to let a publigher to change a single word in his works.

Sometimes when he didn't know he was being watched, Meggie would look at him and try desperately to imprint his face upon her brain's core. And he would turn to find her watching him, a look in his eyes of haunted grief, a doomed look. She understood the implicit message, or thought she did; he must go, back to the Church and his duties. Never again with the same spirit, perhaps, but more able to serve. For only those who have slipped and fallen know the vicissitudes of the way.
