Great big photo book of Communist China, 1949 onwards. Here are some of my favourites:

The first guy looks like he wants his finger to be a 45 Magnum and blow the other guy's head off. He is furious. He is thirty miles beyond furious. The caption says "A peasant points a finger at a landlord".
1966 - more denunciations....more

Just got this book from Babmi-read without moving. Breathless.
How horrible life had been for my country men, and my family from the 50's through the 70's.
