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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Charged with passion, never doctrinaire, \u003ci\u003eBlood Red Sunset\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “A deceptively straightforward story carried forward by deep currents of insight.”—\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “A genuine, no-holds-barred, unadorned piece of writing…echoing the realities of contemporary China.”—Liu Binyan, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46551897571489,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780140159424","price":35.15,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780140159424.jpg?v=1781699824","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/blood-red-sunset-paperback-by-ma-bo","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
