This is a new biography on Zhou Enlai, one of the most important and yet debatable political figures in the Chinese Communist Party. Based on solid research and first-hand information obtained from official documents as well as from people who had long acquaintance with Zhou, the authors successfully give an in-depth analysis on the complex personality and controversial actions of Zhou, both as a person and a leader of the CCP. The analysis is insightful to the understanding of his political behaviour and, in particular, how such behaviour had played a crucial role in the course of contemporary Chinese history.
Barbara Barnouin earned her Ph.D. from the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva, where she is currently a research fellow at the Asia Center (CRAM). The late Yu Changgen had worked with Zhou Enlai in the Foreign Ministry of China in the 1960s and 1970s. They are the co-authors of Ten Years of Turbulence: The Chinese Cultural Revolution and Chinese Foreign Policy During the Cultural Revolution.
