The most authoritative life of the Chinese leader every written, Mao: The Unknown Story is based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never talked before -- and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned, and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao's rule -- in peacetime.

Perfect day bag!
Color: Upgrade-black, Size: 15.6 Inch
Super convenient and lightweight. I used it for two back-to-back conferences last week and it was PERFECT for what I needed to tote along all day. Fits my regular sized computer (15-16 inch) and even held my water bottle (which is larger than a regular plastic water bottle).

Stylish, light (laptop, phone, notebook & pen) +
Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch, Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch
Perfect for work! I use it for laptop, charger and few items necessary at work. I have a few blocks to walk from parking to work location and this bag has replaced last backpack and purse. Much easier to carry one item than two or more. Plus, it has enough room if you need to use it for clothes and toiletries (road-trip) or carry-on.
