520    Perhaps no one in the twentieth century had a greater long
       -term impact on world history than Deng Xiaoping. And no 
       scholar of contemporary East Asian history and culture is 
       better qualified than Ezra Vogel to disentangle the many 
       contradictions embodied in the life and legacy of China's 
       boldest strategist. Once described by Mao Zedong as a 
       "needle inside a ball of cotton," Deng was the pragmatic 
       yet disciplined driving force behind China's radical 
       transformation in the late twentieth century. He 
       confronted the damage wrought by the Cultural Revolution, 
       dissolved Mao's cult of personality, and loosened the 
       economic and social policies that had stunted China's 
       growth. Obsessed with modernization and technology, Deng 
       opened trade relations with the West, which lifted 
       hundreds of millions of his countrymen out of poverty. Yet
       at the same time he answered to his authoritarian roots, 
       most notably when he ordered the crackdown in June 1989 at
       Tiananmen Square. Deng's youthful commitment to the 
       Communist Party was cemented in Paris in the early 1920s, 
       among a group of Chinese student-workers that also 
       included Zhou Enlai. Deng returned home in 1927 to join 
       the Chinese Revolution on the ground floor. In the fifty 
       years of his tumultuous rise to power, he endured 
       accusations, purges, and even exile before becoming 
       China's preeminent leader from 1978 to 1989 and again in 
       1992. When he reached the top, Deng saw an opportunity to 
       creatively destroy much of the economic system he had 
       helped build for five decades as a loyal follower of Mao-
       and he did not hesitate.--From publisher information.
