Product details

Winner of the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction 2011. Between 1958 and 1962, 45 million Chinese were killed by work, hunger, or beatings. Mao Zedong plunged his country into madness with the Great Leap Forward, an attempt to catch up with and surpass the Western world in less than fifteen years. This led to one of the greatest catastrophes the world has ever experienced. Dikotter's extraordinary research in Chinese archives combines, for the first time, what happened in the centers of power with the everyday experiences of ordinary people, giving a voice to the dead and the disenfranchised. This groundbreaking account fundamentally reinterprets the history of the People's Republic of China.
