He crushed the US-backed Nationalist's 4.3-million strong armies in a series of titanic battles, forcing his rival, Chiang Kai-shek, to flee to Taiwan... The Great Helmsman united fractured, war-torn China, restoring its pride and self-confidence after two centuries of humiliation. Mao thwarted both Soviet and U.S. efforts to turn China into a client state, and built up China's military power... Mao's aides dared not tell him millions were starving. Red Emperor Mao was prodigal with his people's lives, and, according to aides who were close to him, was shockingly indifferent to their suffering. Mao horrified even brutal Soviet leaders by saying he was prepared to lose half his people to emerge victorious from a nuclear war...\"\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The third volume in this special collection contains five important lectures and essays by Chairman Mao: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e *Part 1 - On Policy\u003cbr\u003e *Part 2 - On Practice\u003cbr\u003e *Part 3 - On Contradiction\u003cbr\u003e *Part 4 - On New Democracy\u003cbr\u003e *Part 5 - On the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eExcerpt from \u003ci\u003eCollected Writings of Chairman Mao - On Policy, Practice and Contradiction\u003c\/i\u003e by Mao Zedong\u003cbr\u003e Reprinted by permission.

Man's knowledge depends mainly on his activity in material production, through which he comes gradually to understand the phenomena, the properties and the laws of nature, and the relations between himself and nature; and through his activity in production he also gradually comes to understand, in varying degrees, certain relations that exist between man and man. None of this knowledge can be acquired apart from activity in production. In a classless society every person, as a member of society, joins in common effort with the other members, enters into definite relations of production with them and engages in production to meet man's material needs. In all class societies, the members of the different social classes also enter, in different ways, into definite relations of production and engage in production to meet their material needs. This is the primary source from which human knowledge develops.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 20, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978426843437,"sku":"9781934255247","price":22.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/RnZvbllleVMzblFtMWFwZW9wbS9DQT09.webp?v=1775805092","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/collected-writings-of-chairman-mao-volume-3-on-policy-practice-and-contradiction-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
