Distinguished Harvard sociologist Ezra Vogel offers his assessment of Deng’
s leadership. J. Stapleton Roy, former ambassador to China, wrote of Vogel’
s just published book,
“Deng Xiaoping`s skill, vision, and courage in overcoming seemingly
insuperable obstacles and guiding China onto the path of sustained economic
development rank him with the great leaders of history. And yet, too little
is known about the life and career of this extraordinary man. In this
superbly researched and highly readable biography, Vogel has definitively
filled this void. This fascinating book provides a host of insights into the
factors that enabled Deng to triumph over repeated setbacks and lay the
basis for China to regain the wealth and power that has eluded it for two
centuries.”
Ezra Vogel is professor emeritus of sociology at Harvard University where he
taught 1964-2000. He is one of the most influential scholars of East Asia,
contributing vital books on China and Japan. His China-focused titles
include Canton Under Communism (1969) and One Step Ahead in China: Guangdong
Under Reform (1989). His books on Japan include Japan`s New Middle Class (
1963), Japan as Number One: Lessons for America (1979), and Is Japan Still
Number One? (2000). In addition to these seminal works, Vogel has edited a
number of others, including Living with China : U.S./China Relations in the
Twenty-First Century (1997). Professor Vogel is a member of the USC US-China
Institute Board of Scholars.
