The long-time Chinese premier Zhou Enlai (1898-1976) is one of the most important, interesting, and appealing figures among twentieth-century world statesmen.

Reviews for Zhou Enlai
"Lee distinguishes himself by a very careful attitude to facts."
China Quarterly "Lee's short but densely packed account of Zhou Enlai's childhood and youth [1898-1924] corrects some important errors by earlier biographers. . . . This gracefully written biography should appeal to general as well as to academic readers."
