These early philosophical writings underpinned the Chinese revolutions and their clarion calls to insurrection remain some of the most stirring of all time. Drawing on a dizzying array of references from contemporary culture and politics, Zizek's firecracker commentary reaches unsettling conclusions about the place of Mao's thought in the revolutionary canon.

This is a great intro to Mao. For the unanointed, you will likely be very surprised by the lucid, yet nuanced writings on a matters from religion, to class, to science and yes, communism.
Mao’s devotion to the Chinese people is evident in his famously steadfast approach to the constant refinement of thought and deed in the People’s Republic of China.
Worth listening to and reading over and over.
