Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong

The Little Red Book, or Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, is a compilation of statements from Mao's speeches and writings, published from 1964 to 1979.

It was a central tool in the indoctrination and control of the population during the Cultural Revolution.

The book covers various topics such as class struggle, 'correcting mistaken ideas,' and the 'mass line,' a key tenet of Mao Zedong Thought.

It became a mandatory read for nearly the entire Chinese population and was carried by millions of Red Guards.

The book's distribution was massive, with estimates suggesting over a billion official copies were printed, and it remains one of the most published books in history.
