Informationen zum Autor Zhou Xun is a lecturer in modern history at the University of Essex. She is the author of The Great Famine in China! 1958-1962: A Documentary History. Klappentext A powerful account of China's Great Famine as told through the voices of those who survived it "The Maoist regime insisted that the great famine of 1958-1962 was a natural disaster, but it actually resulted from the reckless policies and a pitiless disregard for human life of the regime itself. Zhou Xun's meticulous and sensitive oral history allows survivors of the famine to tell their stories for the first time. She rectifies a great historic injustice by enabling the victims to put their harrowing ordeal into the historic record."--Steve Smith, All Souls College, Oxford University--Steve Smith Zusammenfassung A powerful account of China's Great Famine as told through the voices of those who survived it
