Veteran foreign correspondent Michael Sheridan is here to shed new light on the history and politics of China. The Red Emperor is an eye-opening portrait of President Xi Jinping and his leadership of a country that has become a military and economic superpower. Drawing on two decades of first-hand reporting and intimate stories from the closed world of Chinas leading families, The Red Emperor tracks Xi Jinpings journey from a political exile of the Cultural Revolution, to becoming the most consequential leader of our time.
Michael Sheridan is one of the best informed and wisest writers on China Chris Patten, last governor of Hong Kong
