Summary Annotation <div>When Gao Wenqian first published this groundbreaking, provocative biography in Hong Kong, it was immediately banned in the People&#8217;s Republic. Using classified documents spirited out of the China, he offers an objective human portrait of the real Zhou Enlai, the premier of the People&#8217;s Republic of China from 1949 until his death in 1976. Often touted as &ldquo;the last perfect revolutionary,&#8221; Zhou is &ldquo;a modern saint&#8221; who offered protection to his people during the Cultural Revolution, and an icon who allows modern Chinese to find an admirable figure in what was a traumatic and bloody era. But his greatest gift was to survive, at almost any price, thanks to his acute understanding of where political power resided at any one time.</div>
