This is the famous 'Little Red Book'. The title 'Quotations' is misleading. These are actual speeches, ideas, and the writings of Chairman Mao, published by the CCP military newspaper between 1964 and 1976, and designed for easy carrying. This little compact handbook was published with revolutionary zeal and as an apologia for revolutionary Mao style Communism. This is the authentic and complete version with 33 chapters. It's a very interesting piece of history, and frankly quite terrifying to read — a precursor to the cultural revolution, and the weapon wielded by the infamous Red Guards. Most of the thoughts and ideas included in the book span from the tumultuous period in the 1930s, 1940's and 1950's. Condition: Used. Very good. No markings inside. And a great red plastic vintage cover. Publication date: Unknown. 29 vintage colour photos of Mao at the front. 498 pages. This a great collector's item. The content is in English and Chinese. 226g. 9.5x13.5x3cm
