Tombstone

The Untold Story of Mao's Great Famine
Herausgegeben von Friedman, Edward; Übersetzung: Jian, Guo; Mosher, Stacy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

More people died in Mao's Great Famine than in the entire First World War, yet this story has remained largely untold, until now. Still banned in China, this title draws on the author's privileged access to official and unofficial sources to uncover the full human cost of the tragedy, and create an unprecedented work of historical reckoning.

Autorenporträt

Yang Jisheng was born in 1940. He worked for many years at Xinhua News Agency, until his retirement in 2001. From the early 1990s onwards Yang interviewed survivors and collected records of the Great Famine (1959-61), eventually accumulating some 10 million words of testimony. This was published in Chinese originally in two volumes (the English-language edition is edited down) and has been widely acclaimed as the book that broke a widespread official silence on the subject. Tombstone remains banned in China.
