"A huge bestseller in China, this richly detailed record is told with raw narrative power. " -- Publishers Weekly "...does so with searing honesty and the power of his pugnacious personality." -- Los Angeles Times "A deceptively straightforward story carried forward by deep currents of insight."-- The Washington Post "A genuine, no-holds-barred, unadorned piece of writing...echoing the realities of contemporary China."--Liu Binyan, The New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
A searing first hand account of China's Cultural Revolution that joins the ranks of great memoirs such as Life and Death in Shanghai , Wild Swans and A Chinese Odyssey First banned in its native land, this earthy, unflinching memoir has become one of the biggest bestsellers in the history of China. In 1968, a fervent young Red Guard joined the army of hotheaded adolescents who trekked to Inner Mongolia to spread the Cultural Revolution. After gaining a reputation as a brutal abuser of the local herd owners and nomads, Ma Bo casually criticized a Party Leader. Denounced as an "active counterrevolutionary" and betrayed by his friends, the idealistic youth was brutally beaten and imprisoned. Charged with passion, never doctrinaire, Blood Red Sunset is a startlingly vivid and personal narrative that opens a window on the psyche of totalitarian excess that no other work of history can provide. This is a tale of ideology and disillusionment, a powerful work of political and literary importance.
