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

4.0

Man. What a heavy read with no breaks in the torment. Volume 1 of 3 on the Chinese Communist revolution. Gonna need to take a moment before tackling volume 2. Very in depth account of the CCP Revolution. Hundreds of pages of violence, torture, famine, and all around misery. The depths of human depravity and callous cruelty. Could be a bit of a grind at times but got through it.
