I was kind of sick yesterday, and while I was resting I went on a long Wikipedia journey learning about this guy. I'm fascinated. Some of the efforts he led in Chongqing seems incredible, like expropriating billionaire's stuff to fund public housing. But of course there's the big scandal, with lots of lurid details like how his wife maybe poisoned somebody.

Anybody have anything good to read about him that isn't American Wikipedia? Or hot Bo takes to share? How has the Chongqing Model influenced Chinese politics today, and was it as good as it seems? What's up with his falling out with his buddy the police chief? Did Bo's dad really commission an author to write that he was a better statesmen than Henry Kissinger (I would hope so!) and more beloved than Princess Diana?
