Description: Enigmatic Eminence grise the power behind the throne these phrases sum up Zhou Enlai's long and varied but always pivotal political career in the Chinese Communist Party from the 1920s to 1970s. Born in 1898, Zhou witnessed several of the most important events in China's modern history and was a close associate of both the nationalist leader Chiang Kai - Shek and communist leader Mao Zedong whom he served under as China's first premier from 1949 until 1976. Zhou was also a major ally of Deng Xiaoping a source for example of major influence on his Four Modernizations in agriculture industry science and technology and the military. He was thus the prime architect of China's drive towards superpower status and one of the key determinants of China's central role in the modern world. Zhou does not conform readily to any of the stereotypes of communist leaders Chinese or otherwise. Cultivated and urbane he was a sympathetic and intellectual character who was well - liked by non - communists foreigners and his staff. He was one of the most complex figures in the politics of contemporary China and certainly one of the most interesting although his influence was never all that obvious. In this book Michael Dillon restores him to his rightful place in history and analyses the role of a man who was a genuine statesman rather than just a political operator .
