520    "Since the heyday of Mao Zedong, there has never been a 
       more crucial time to understand Maosim.  Although to 
       Western eyes it seems that China has long abandoned the 
       utopian turmoil of Maoism in favour of authoritarian 
       capitalism, Mao and his ideas remain central to the 
       People' Republic and the legitimacy of its communist 
       government. As disagreements and conflicts between China 
       and the West are likely to mount, the need to understand 
       the political legacy of Mao will only become more urgent. 
       Yet during Mao's lifetime and beyond, the power and appeal
       of Maoism has always extended beyond China. Across the 
       globe, Maoism was a crucial motor of the Cold War: it 
       shaped the course of the Vietnam War (and the 
       international youth rebellion it triggered) and brought to
       power the murderous Khmer Rouge in Cambodia; it aided, and
       sometimes handed victory to, anti-colonial resistance 
       movements in Africa; it inspired terrorism in Germany and 
       Italy, and wars and insurgencies in Peru, India and Nepal,
       some of which are still with us today - more than forty 
       years after the death of Mao.  In this new history, 
       acclaimed historian Julia Lovell revaluates Maoism, 
       analysing both China's engagement with the movement and 
       its legacy on a global canvas. It's a story that takes us 
       from the tea plantations of north India to the sierras of 
       the Andes, from Paris's 5th Arrondissement to the fields 
       of Tanzania, from the rice paddies of Cambodia to the 
       terraces of Brixton.  Starting from the movement's birth 
       in northwest China in the 1930s and unfolding right up to 
       its present-day violent rebirth, this is the definitive 
       history of global Maoism"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "The untold story of how Maoist ideology spread throughout
       the world during the Cold War, playing a major role in 
       shaping politics from Asia to Africa to the American left.
       This revelatory new work of world history challenges our 
       understanding of the geopolitics of the twentieth century.
       While the Cold War is traditionally seen as a competition 
       between Soviet communism and American capitalism, Maoism: 
       A Global History shows for the first time how China played
       a central role in the struggle. Julia Lovell takes us to 
       the movement's birth in northwest China in the 1930s and 
       makes clear how, across the globe, Maoism was a crucial 
       motor of the Cold War, shaping the course of the Vietnam 
       War (and the international youth rebellion it triggered) 
       and bringing to power the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Maoism 
       also inspired anti-colonial resistance movements in 
       Africa; terrorism in Germany and Italy, and wars and 
       insurgencies in Peru, India, and Nepal, some of which are 
       still with us today--more than forty years after Mao's 
       death. Moving from the tea plantations of India to the 
       Andes, from Paris's 5th Arrondissement to Tanzania, from 
       the rice paddies of Cambodia and the Chicago protests of 
       1968 to the present-day violent rebirth of the ideology, 
       this is the definitive history of global Maoism"--
