Book Launch Event

Bombard the Headquarters!

In conversation with Lech Blainey

Jaivin explores the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution, revealing how Mao Zedong’s radical movement led to millions of deaths, cultural destruction, and deep societal divisions. The book illuminates the revolution’s ideological roots while drawing parallels to contemporary Chinese politics under Xi Jinping. With the topic heavily censored in China, Jaivin’s work provides crucial historical insight into a pivotal and traumatic period of Chinese history.
