Kind of unrelated to the thread topic at hand but I'm quite interested in modern Chinese history, especially in geopolitical terms... Thus far I've only managed to take a brief course and go through a few books, but I'd like to know more. I can't help but notice Jung Chang's book is in the comedy section... I admittedly didn't comb through the sources in it in any depth, mostly just focusing on the text itself, but why is this book so derided? A quick google search tells me that there are serious issues with the factual interpretations within it, but are there any specific points someone could elaborate on for me? Secondly, I read through Li Zhi-Sui's Private Life of Chairman Mao and I was wondering if this was similarly considered, as it seems to be largely the one man's account.
