Michael Sherd

Michael Sheridan, Far East correspondent for The Sunday Times, is an expert on China and the Far East. The Red Emperor offers a compelling portrait of Xi Jinping, the man leading 1.4 billion people and the world’s second-largest economy. Sheridan traces Xi's rise from a poor, isolated childhood to a ruthless, absolute ruler shaping China's military, economic, and global power. In Xi's China, corruption, purges, and scandals run rampant as he works to dominate world trade, defeat Western democracy, and make China supreme. This biography, rich with exclusive material, reveals Xi's immense influence and dangerous ambitions.
