The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Chinese Revolution 1945-1957 by Frank Dikötter
4.0
A super interesting look at the Communist takeover of China after the Civil War.
I'm extremely interested in this period of history so I'm planning on reading all three of these, and this was my first. Found it to be super insightful, extremely disturbing and focused enough on the on the ground situation (rather than fully focused on the politics), to make it a great read for me.
