Remarks on Condition :Condition Remarks: Very Good +, , Some wear and tear on dustjacket, ,


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 proselytes 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. Published by Angus and Robertson in 1973.
