TO PHOENIX SEAT Marchant Maoism Chinese Communism 1st.

"In this book Leslie Marchant shows that the apparently enigmatic behaviour of the Chinese communists under Mao has in fact been substantially consistent with Mao's ideologically inspired strategy for the achievement of the 'dictatorship of the proletariat' in China and the world. Professor Marchant argues that Maoists are not 'reactionaries' who respond essentially to particular conditions, such as poverty within China, or particular actions, such as imperialist pressure from without, but prselytes whose domestic and foreign policies are always predicated upon their ultimate purpose of changing the nature of man himself as the revolution follows its pre-destined course."
