The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution 1945-1957 by Frank Dikötter

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.

i saw someone else say that this is like a reply to other more general narratives about the chinese revolution, and i agree in that it feels like this is all the detail without the overarching story. i think id like to come back to this after reading a broader history of maos china as then ill be able to know more broadly what’s going on whilst reading the finer points
