From the Introduction:
     This book is the product of a thirteen-year close political
relationship with the Chinese people and the Chinese Communist Party. 
This relationship began late in 1964 in a military prison in Rio do
Janeiro, Brazil, where I had long talks with nine chinese citizens 
( among them the vice minister for foreign trade and one journalist )
kept under arrest there by the brutal dictatorship led by general
Castelo Branco. After that, I lived in China from 1965 to 1967,
when the cultural revolution began as an attempt of the Chinese
working class to recuperate the leadership of the revolution, then
in 1970-71, which coincided with the power struggle between two
main members of the "new ruling class", Lin Biao and Chou En-lai, 
and lastly from 1974 to 1977, which include the passing away of 
Chou En-lai, Chu Teh and Mao Tse-tung, the total defeat of the
cultural revolution, the coup d'etat headed by Deng Xiaoping, in 
october 1976, and the consolidation of the counter-revolution. 
In abril 1977 I was expelled from China...
...In this book I attempt to demonstrate the following:
   a) a new ruling class is dominant in the Chinese society. This
      new ruling class is a civil-military bureaucracy created 
      during the process of building socialism, and it will impose
      its power upon the whole of society if the working class is
      unable to consolidate its political dominance.
   b) the Chinese revolution was, in the main, a national-democratic
      revolution led by a political alliance including rural and urban
      petty bourgeoisie and urban working class. When some members of
      this alliance tried to push forward a socialist revolution, a
      power struggle and a class struggle were triggered off.
   c) the Chinese communist party never reached the stage of 
      representing the interests of the proletariat, and was in the
      main dominated by petty bourgeoise ideology, always resisting
      the encroachment of proletarian ideology. Eventually, the
      communist party became the core of the new ruling class in a
      bureaucratic socialist system.
   d) in the early 1970s, the left of the Chinese communist party, led
      by Mao Tse-tung and the so-called "gang of four", compromised
      with the counter-revolution (led by Chou En-lai and 
      Deng Xiaoping), providing the conditions for a complete defeat 
      which occurred in late 1976.
   e) the new rulers will try their best to develop capitalist
      relations of production in China; they will add, step by
      step, individual economic power to their political power, and
      then try to create a big capitalist power competing with the old
      ones for world domination.
