The most authoritative life of the Chinese leader every written, Mao: The Unknown Story is based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never talked before -- and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned, and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao's rule -- in peacetime.

hard to read display, no manual included.
Color: Black/Black/Digital
I haven't decided yet whether or not I will keep the watch. Problem is there is no instruction manual attached and you cannot find one online. However if you call Timex support they will email you the manual if you give them the model number which is included in Amazon's product description. However even with the manual watch is very hard to set. It lacks some functions normally Timex has like time can only be set up there is no down button. And most importantly display is minuscule. So it is really hard to read to set. Watch is a ladies watch. It is small and I like it a lot. But buttons are hard to operate and it is hard to read.

My boyfriend loved it!
Color: Ingram Black
I have total and complete confidence that you will be 100% satisfied when you purchase this product and begin to use it. I will definitely be buying more products from this vendor again in the near future. I would highly recommend this seller to everyone including my friends and family members. I was searching for a new wallet for my boyfriend for his birthday and wanted one that would accommodate all of his cards. His old wallet was falling apart but this one does not seem like it will do that as it is such good quality and seems to hold a lot of stuff inside it. He was super happy when he received it and has been using it for about a month now and it still looks good as new. I’m thinking of getting this for other members of my family who need a new wallet. The leather is smooth and in great condition, no imperfections. The trifold is perfect for anyone who is looking to store a bit more in their wallet. I shopped around for a bit before choosing this one and I’m happy I chose this. Fossil really does make great products and I’m sure I’ll be buying more in the future. I like the simplicity of the design; it’s not too flashy but nice enough to show that it really is high quality. Young or old, any man (or woman) will be pleased with the purchase or gift of this wallet. I also really liked the color as it was super rich and dark looking, not dull at all. Really great and a staple for any man (or woman) looking for a new and sturdy wallet. The shipping for this product was just on time as promised and the product was just as described so that is great!! It just works just perfectly and it is exactly what I was looking for! What an awesome product, I’m glad that I came across this product when I did. This is a great product to invest in, as it is very affordable and seems like it will last for a long time – you should try it out. My reviews are my very own opinion of the product received and just my opinion. Everyone is different and could have a different opinion of a product. I do not receive any monetary payment for my reviews, and I always keep them honest. Therefore, you have no need to worry about whether or not my review is genuine, because I’m telling you, it is. If after my initial review something changes I DO make sure that I go back and update the reviews, for good or bad reasons. I am under no obligation to provide a positive review and received no incentives or rewards for doing so, as I previously mentioned. My aim is to highlight features and drawbacks that I would want to know about as a buyer, not hype the product for the manufacturer to increase sales. My remarks are sincere and true. I work very hard trying to write insightful and thoughtful reviews for each item. My hope is that these reviews are helpful to others who may be interested in potentially purchasing this product for themselves or as a gift for others who may be interested in the product. Please let me know how I am doing by voting “YES” if you think that my review helped you in any way. If it did not, please comment with how I can improve because this helps me to be a better reviewer. I hoped you enjoyed reading.

Timeless design with excellent quality!
Color: Wilder Black
I love the sizing and material, it feels well made and durable. While some might find it a bit small, I think the size is just right for its purpose. It’s practical, stylish, and the simple design makes it look great anywhere.

Classic Style Meets Everyday Functionality
Color: Derrick Brown
I recently purchased the Fossil Men’s Leather Trifold Wallet, and it has quickly become my go-to accessory. The leather is soft yet durable, and the craftsmanship is evident in every stitch. The wallet offers ample space with multiple card slots and a clear ID window, making organization a breeze. One feature I particularly appreciate is the slim profile; it fits comfortably in my pocket without adding bulk. The classic design complements both casual and formal attire, making it versatile for any occasion. Overall, this wallet combines style, functionality, and quality at a reasonable price point. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable everyday wallet.
