In addition, he and his wife, Jung Chang, with whom he lives in Notting Hill, West London, researched and wrote a biography of Mao Zedong, Mao: the Unknown Story, which received praise from the popular press, historians and scholars but also widespread criticism from many scholars and historians in the Western world and China for what they describe as questionable factual accuracy, methodology and use of sources.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
