Thanks Sascha. Interestingly, so far, it's one of my least-read book reviews. Perhaps that's because it hits hard, perhaps I could have done a better job. But I like to think that the truth, or at least attempts to nudge at it, aren't all that popular. I'm going to put up a less hard-hitting review tomorrow.
Super job, Chris. I have the book on my bedside pile and will bring it to the top now.
Thanks. Well worth reading.

Thanks, and enjoy the books, Dikötter is one of a kind!
Excellent write up, I’m reminded of the Tiananmen Papers
Thanks for alerting me to Frank Dikötter. I am starting with "The Tragedy of Liberation." It's great to keep in touch with you, Chris. Carry on.
