Summary
In this collection of essays, China’s Chairman Mao Tse-Tung explains the interpretation of Marxism-Leninism ideology that became known as Maoism. This philosophy fueled the Chinese Revolution and the massive social and economic changes Mao instituted as the nation’s leader. From examining the way contradictions can cause great shifts within a society, to the necessity of guerilla-based revolution, Mao mixes his philosophical positions with the history of the Chinese people. Featured works include "Relation Between Knowledge and Practice", "Between Knowing and Doing", "The Universality of Contradiction", "The Place of Antagonism in Contradiction", "China’s Historical Characteristics", "The Politics of New Democracy", "The Economy of New Democracy", "The Culture of New Democracy", and more.
This collection offers a detailed insight into the mind of the most important figure in 20th-century Chinese history.

I feel depressed after reading this
The performance was decent especially for a short collection of essays like this. However listening to what the commies had to say always leaves me feeling depressed.

Interesting and Useful
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this but Mao's ideas are a useful addition to Marxist-Leninist thought. You'll probably want to understand at least the basics of Marxism before you listen to this though.
The narrator has a pleasant voice and does a fine job.
Glad I listened, especially to the first two essays.

Abysmal Performance
The book is an important resource for any student of modern China, Maoism or Communism generally. Unfortunately this audiobook fails to do justice to the subject. The narrator merely recites the text (sometimes badly) and makes no attempt to actually communicate the meaning of the text. Admittedly that wouldn't be an easy task, but still, other narrators would have done a better job. I did force myself to finish listening to it, but got absolutely no benefit from it.
Summary: Don't bother with this, stick to the written version.
