- Summary:
- " In Born Red, Gao Youan, a former Red Guard . . . tells us what it was like to be one of Mao' s children in a provincial town four hours by train south of Peking. It is a terrible story, demonstrating that Mao and his crazed coterie were able to cripplee Chinese society for ten years, as well as cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, because they had plenty of help from the masses." - Politics " Gao' s moving account, which is surprisingly even-handed, viividly captures the pervasive sense of fear and uncertainty that washed over China during the tumultuous period from 1966-1969." - Houston Chronicle
