On Mao Tse-tung: A Bibliographic Guide. East Asia Series, Occasional Paper No. 2.

This bibliography is a selected reference source on the life, politics, philosophy, and works of Mao Tse-tung. It contains 800 documents in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages that were selected from monographs and journal articles. Most of the entries pertain to Mao's role after 1949 when he emerged as the new leader in Mainland China. The guide follows the major events of the postwar movements of Mao's new China as evidenced in the writings of Western and Eastern scholars and political analysis. All the materials are divided under four main categories: life, politics, thought, and works. Items under the politics category are further subdivided under topics such as administration, guerrilla warfare, party work, and power seizure. Materials are listed alphabetically by author within each section. Each entry includes the author if any, title and its translation if in a non-Western language, place of publication, publisher, imprint date, and pagination. An author cross-index is provided.
