From Library Journal:

China's strongman is here presented from his early family life, through his work-study days in France in the 1920s, to the twists and turns of Chinese Communist Party history up to the present. Although Deng is portrayed with a certain amount of admiration as a survivor and pragmatist, his brutal role in some of the party's historic excesses is not glossed over. This, one of the few biographies of Deng available in English, is far superior to Ching Hua Lee's Deng Xiaoping: The Marxist Road to the Forbidden City (Kingston Press, 1985). Given the secrecy that surrounds the personal lives of Chinese leaders, this is as detailed and balanced an account as we are likely to get. Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia Univ.
