Features: At the Lushan Conference in 1959, Peng Dehuai, who dared to speak for the people and offer blunt advice, met his downfall. This great historical tragedy is merely the prelude of this book, while the endless hardships and shocking persecutions are the true record of Peng Dehuai's turbulent life. How the cunning Kang Sheng and his ilk cunningly slandered Peng Dehuai in front of Mao Zedong; what was the purpose behind sending Peng Dehuai to the southwestern region; how the two factions of Red Guards, acting on the orders of the Central Cultural Revolution, urgently seized and escorted Peng Dehuai to Beijing. How the great general Peng, who poured his heart out for the prosperity of the nation, was brutally tortured to death with inhumane fascist methods.
