Kerry Brown's Xi is the perfect primer for understanding Xi

century's least assailable statesman'
*John Keay, author of China: A History*
Brown's book provides a very readable account of Xi's childhood and
rise through the ranks of the Communist party ... an interesting
story
*Financial Times*
A valuable primer for anyone looking to get up to speed on Xi
Jinping's rise to global power
*Guardian*
There are many books in English about Xi's China, but you'll
struggle to find one on the man himself. This book by an academic
who has worked and lived in China is a welcome contribution to
filling that gap.
*Reaction*
Highly readable and concise ... A nuanced and thorough explanation
of Xi's China and why the Communist Party, for all its flaws, has
long life in it
*Irish Times*
A zesty, fast-paced, very 'human' read... [a] forensic political
account
*Herald*
Written by the veteran British China-watcher Kerry Brown... Brown
pithily sums up [Xi Jinping's guiding vision] as "making China
great again by making the Party great again"
*Spectator*
