The Cultural Revolution: A People's History, 1962-1976 by Frank Dikötter
3.0
This third and final volume suffers the same flaws as the other two: scattered, repetitive, and like reading an Excel spreadsheet. But this book does have some better chapters at the end.
Overall, the research and content manage to communicate much of what took place in the time of Mao. But in a way that made it an utter slog.
Again, the parallels to dangers close to home are seriously scary. Dictator brains are pretty much all the same. Maybe it can’t happen here, but let’s not take any chances, ok?
I’ve been scared shitless too much lately.
