I've been doing a good bit of reading recently on the Cultural Revolution, on both the physical history and the stories that have survived. I am particularly interested in the decades that followed and the long lasting effect that the Cultural revolution has had on China's development. Here are a few of the things I have read so far-

Mao's Last Revolution (Macfarquhar)
Mao Zedong and China in the 20th Century (Rebecca E. Karl)
Apologies Forthcoming (Xujun Eberlein)
Out of Mao's Shadow (Phillip P. Pan)
Socialism is Great (Zhang Lijia)

These were very good, though the Books by Karl and Pan are amazing. Anyone else have other books that they would recommend along these lines?
