59 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

谢 辞

Our gratitude goes first to the several hundred interviewees, who provided us with vital information, as well as much color to bring Mao alive. None is responsible for any of the views expressed in the book.

我们首先要向数百名受访者致以深深的谢意。没有他们就没有这本书。需要着重强调的是，书中观点与他们无关。

The following people kindly sent us material, answered queries, effected introductions, or gave us other valuable help. To all of them we are most grateful. We regret that we have not been able to differentiate their contributions more distinctively. Our apologies for any omissions (including some titles), which we will be glad to correct in future editions. We feel very sad that those in Mainland China cannot be named, and hope that this situation will change one day.

下列人士慷慨提供资料、解答疑惑、大力引介，我们由衷地感谢他们。如有疏漏之处，我们愿致上歉意，待再版时订正。由于众所周知的原因，在中国大陆为我们提供宝贵帮助的人士中，有些名字我们不能提及。对此我们非常遗憾。（编者注：英文名字有所省略，抱歉）

We are immensely indebted to our editor at Knopf, Dan Frank, who did so much to improve the text, and whose thought-provoking queries led to the solving of major historical puzzles. Deep gratitude also to our editor at Cape, Dan Franklin; to assistant editor Alex Milner; to Steve Cox, who did an excellent line edit on the penultimate draft; and to all who worked on the book; to our agent, Gillon Aitken, and his associates and staff; and to our indispensable assistant, Alexandra Adamson.

在成书过程中，蓝登出版集团(Random House)的美国 Knopf 出版社编辑Dan Frank对文稿提了极其宝贵的意见；英国 Cape 出版社的编辑Dan Franklin，以及Alex Milner，Steve Cox等有关人员，付出大量心血。我们的代理人Gillon Ait ken，助理 Alexandra Adamson ，也出力不少。开放出版社总编辑金钟先生对这本书的一贯支持，我们将铭记在心。

It is impossible to exaggerate the role of Pu Zhang, who over the years bounced our ideas and hypotheses back at us with vigor and insight.

最后，对张朴所作贡献，我们的感激已写入中文版“自序”中。
