The Great Leap Forward: Farce and Famine

Thgis second episode looking at China’s Great Leap Forward in the 1950s will show just how crazy and tragic the whole thing was, and why I call this episode ‘Farce and Famine’. It also serves as an example of just how one person can destroy the lives of millions.
