There were 700 million of these little red books printed during Chinas Cultural Revolution! People used to carry them around as protection from persecution.

The real purpose of the book was as a tool by Lin Bio, to bring Mao down from ultimate political power.
A fascinating read - and a springboard to many a revolution! Book measures 5 x 3 1/2 x 3/4-inch.
