Using newly released population statistics, they calculated that at least 30 million people had starved to death in China between 1958 and 1962. This is the first book to unravel the story behind the statistics. Based on hundreds of interviews and unpublished documents it describes how Mao Zedong created a manmade famine throughout China. His Great Leap Forward was the greatest example of Utopian engineering ever attempted. Mao tried to abolish money and property and promised that his people's communes would create the first Communist paradise on earth. Instead, even in the richest regions peasants died in their millions while the rest became gaunt skeletons reduced to eating grass and bark. Through graphic eyewitness accounts, the author describes how terror, cannibalism, slavery, torture and imprisonment took place on a massive scale all over China. During the great famine over 10 million people were arrested and sent to death camps while a further 10 million fled their homes. This man~made disaster brought China to the brink of civil war. The author examines in detail what happened in the worst~affected provinces, including Tibet where martial law was imposed. He goes on to explain how the darkest secret of Mao's rule was kept hidden and why evidence of what happened was disbelieved for so long. More people died in this catastrophe than in the Second World War or in the concentration camps of Hitler or Stalin. The secret famine is an essential key to understanding why Mao later tried to destroy the Communist Party apparatus in the Cultural Revolution. This book will prompt a reassessment of the founder of modern China. And, since the secrecy and dictatorship which made the famine possible still exist, it should serve as a terrible warning against what might happen again.
