Inhaltsangabe

The investigation of the rise and fall of Gao Gang suggests broader
implications on the nature of elite politics in the Maoist era. The
illumination of basic issues in Chinese politics in the context of this
case, especially as regards the role of Mao Zedong, is relevant not only to
the initial post-1949 period of comparative, but flawed, party unity, but
also to the structural fault lines of the political system which were later
to contribute so significantly to the Cultural Revolution.
