Read from October 24 to November 04, 2010

A hugely comprehensive book about the famine in China during the late 50's early 60's under Mao. Far more information than I needed or wanted, so I ended up skipping over quite a few parts, particularly during the second half of the book. Four stars to the author though for a very interesting and extremely detailed study of this insane period of human history.
