Tragedy Without Consequences | Mao's Great Famine (Frank Dikötter) BOOK REVIEW
Manage episode 439602418 series 2936123
Who is to blame if the leader can never be wrong?
'Tragedy Without Consequences' by Frank Dikötter is a historical book looking at the famine that was caused during China's 'Great Leap Forward'. It showcases the period from 1958-62 and why a series of decisions stemming from Chairman Mao resulted in the death of 30-45 million people. A reoccurring theme was being out of touch with reality, whether it be untested agricultural reforms, distorted data collection or continual lies bouncing from top to bottom. A truly sad period of history.
Massive thanks to Petar & Queen Mother for the support. Would love to hear your feedback and appreciate any support you wish to give :)
