Red Flower of China: An Autobiography

This “candid memoir of the author’s participation in China’s Cultural Revolution” reveals how an ordinary woman was driven to violence by politics (Kirkus Reviews).
 
“Compelling in its brutal honesty,” this is a chilling document that explores how ideological extremism and zealotry can destroy lives, told by a Chinese woman swept up during her teenage years in Mao Zedong’s Red Guard (San Francisco Chronicle).
