"The Long March is a manifesto. It has proclaimed to the world that the Red Army is an army of heroes, while the imperialists and their running dogs, Chiang Kai-shek and his like, are impotent. It has proclaimed their utter failure to encircle, pursue, obstruct and intercept us. The Long March is also a propaganda force. It has announced to some 200 million people in eleven provinces that the road of the Red Army is their only road to liberation.“ -Mao Zedong
“The greatest strategic retreat in military history turned Mao into a living legend.” —Roderick MacFarquhar, Mao Tse Tung: China's Peasant Emperor, A&E Biography, 2005
