The Conscience of the Party: Hu Yaobang, China’s Communist Reformer
Robert L. Suettinger
The definitive biography of Hu Yaobang, who, as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1980s, promoted popular reforms and took aim at Mao’s personality cult. When Hu’s popularity and politics grew too dangerous for the party, he was purged and suppressed in memory—but not before his death inspired the Tiananmen demonstrations.
