The book was so one-sided, it prasied socialist thought but without being able to explain the tragedy communism had brought to human beings. Also, it approved nearly everything Mao Zedong did and just said quite a few of people had died because of his policies. I surely wouldn't recommend people who are interested in sociology to read this book. The delivery was late for more than a month as well! How unreliable the service was!!
