The impact of the movement – more significantly, the politics that drove it – deeply influences political philosophy in China today.Hu Angang’s work provides a unique perspective and objective assessment of the progression of the Cultural Revolution, focusing on the intraparty politics, the Politburo’s international outlook, and the political thought of the Chinese leadership that shaped this pivotal decade.
