“Deng Xiaoping and the Making of Modern China.”
Found it this morning, actually.
September 6th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Yeah, I want that title, too.
September 6th, 2007 at 12:00 am
You can't just tease me and then not post the title!
Title!
September 4th, 2007 at 12:00 am
I'm at a library computer right now, but I do have a good biography of Deng somewhere (forgot the title) I'll send you an email or leave a comment when I can get a hold ofi t.
September 6th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Do you have the original or revised edition?
September 7th, 2007 at 12:00 am
Even the revised edition is ten years old.
Someone out there better be working on the big, fat scholarly biography of Deng.
