| A new book, Out of Mao’s Shadow by Philip Pan, takes readers inside the dramatic battle for China’s soul and into the lives of individuals struggling to come to terms with their nation’s past -- the turmoil and trauma of Mao Tse-tung’s rule -- and to take control of its future. Capitalism has brought prosperity and global strength to China, but the Communist government still resists its people’s demands for political freedom.
Pan is a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post and a recipient of the Osborn Elliott Prize for Excellence in Asian Journalism awarded by the Asia Society.
