Deng Xiaoping and the Transformation of China

I am happy with this book. Great account of the political life and measures taken by Deng Xiaoping and their associates after the 70s and, although I am not trained to assess that, I believe it is made in a really scholarly made. The academic consensus seems to agree with this.

My concern, and the reason why it has 4 stars, is that some of the claims regarding the popular support of the reforms are, from my point of view, not justified. I understand that it is beyond the scope of the book, but I don't think all of them were supported by any sources.
