Book Overview

The much-anticipated definitive account of China's Great Famine

An estimated thirty-six million Chinese men, women, and children starved to death during China's Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s and early '60s. One of the greatest tragedies of the twentieth century, the famine is poorly understood, and in China is still euphemistically referred to as "the three years of natural disaster."

Wow! 🤯

Published by Rachael , 18 days ago
This story was mind blowing!! To peek inside the cultural revolution on China from an insider’s perspective is amazing. I believe this opens up the experience in a culturally Chinese way the way the Gulag Archipelago opened up the experience from a Russian perspective. I do not think I will ever think the same about the cultural revolution and the words we choose to express ourselves. A must read for any honest lover of history.
