'''Lee Feigon''' is an American historian who specialized in the study of 20th-century Chinese history.
In 2002 he published ''[[Mao: A Reinterpretation]]'', that sought to highlight what Feigon saw as some positive aspects of [[Mao Zedong]]'s political leadership (although remaining critical of it). He subsequently used that book as a basis for a documentary, ''The Passion of the Mao''.
He has written for such U.S. publications as ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', ''[[Barron's (newspaper)|Barron's]]'', ''[[The Nation]]'', ''[[The Chicago Tribune]]'', ''[[The Atlantic]]'', and ''[[The Boston Globe]]''.
