The young revolutionary : Hua in Shanxi (1921-49) -- Towards rural reform : Hua in Hunan (1949-57) -- The Great Leap Forward and the post-Leap recovery period : Hua in Hunan (1958-65) -- The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution : Hua in Hunan (1966-70) -- Entering the centre : Hua in Beijing (1971-6) -- The return of Deng Xiaoping : Hua in decline (1977-80) -- Conclusion.

This book examines the political career of Hua Guofeng, Mao's successor as paramount leader in 1976. Hua emerged seemingly out of nowhere following an unexceptional career as a young revolutionary in Shanxi and a provincial official in Hunan. It was in Hunan that Hua became well-known to Mao and Hua's loyalty to Mao while he was there, just when Mao needed it most, helped to facilitate Hua's later ascent to power. On emerging as paramount leader, Hua moved quickly to arrest his opponents, the Gang of Four. As head of party, state and military, Hua looked well set to remain in power indefinitely. Just over two years later Hua had been eclipsed by Deng Xiaoping, a more politically shrewd, progressive and charismatic figure, with a political legacy that far outweighed Hua's modest beginnings. If Hua's rise to power was remarkable, then this fall was even more so.
